Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the use of attack aviation by both opposing sides during the Malgobek defensive operation of 1942. This operation was one of the key components of the battle for the Caucasus and had a significant impact on the entire outcome of the summer-autumn campaign of 1942. Both sides actively used attack aviation during the operation to support ground troops, as well as to combat enemy aviation at airfields. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that, due to various reasons, both sides were unable to properly achieve the massing of forces and means of attack aviation to use its enormous potential in supporting ground troops.
