Hero of the Soviet Union Bondar Alexander Alekseevich. Born on September 2, 1922 in the village of Zmeyskaya, now the Kirov region of the North Ossetian Autonomous Republic. He graduated from 7 classes of junior high school. Since 1941 in the ranks of the Red Army. In 1942 he graduated from the Krasnodar Military Aviation Pilot School and was soon sent to the active army. Since January 1943, Sergeant A. A. Bondar has been on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. By June 1944, the navigator of the 866th Fighter Aviation Regiment (288th Fighter Aviation Division, 17th Air Army, 3rd Ukrainian Front) Senior Lieutenant A. A. Bondar made 252 combat missions, participating in 48 air battles, personally shot down 15 enemy aircraft. For the exemplary performance of combat missions of the command, courage, bravery and heroism shown in the fight against the Nazi invaders, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 19, 1944, he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal. By the end of the war, flying Yaks, he completed 328 successful combat missions. In 70 air battles he personally shot down 18 enemy aircraft. After the war, Alexander Alekseevich continued to serve in the Air Force. Since 1958, Colonel A. A. Bondar has been in reserve. Lived in the city of Armavir ( Krasnodar region ), worked as a diesel locomotive driver. Died May 14, 1992. Awarded the orders of: Lenin, Red Banner, Alexander Nevsky, Patriotic War 1st degree, Red Star (three times); medals. A school in the village of Zmeyskaya bears his name. * * * Any air battle requires courage and skill from the pilot. But to fight a numerically superior enemy, he still needs lightning-fast calculation and exceptional self-control, extraordinary courage, audacity and readiness for self-sacrifice. In the summer of 1941, 18-year-old Sasha Bondar from the village of Zmeiskaya did not yet know this. At the very beginning of the war, he, along with his father and two brothers, came to the Kirov district military registration and enlistment office. All he wanted then was to fly, to fight the enemy in the air. And his wish was granted. In a year of hard study, he took everything that flight school could give him. Alexander Bondar joined the active army in the last days of October 1942, when selected German troops were rushing to the great Russian Volga River in the Stalingrad region and to the vital centers of the Caucasus. He was assigned as a pilot to the 866th Fighter Aviation Regiment, operating on the Southwestern Front. Front troops at that time concentrated their efforts against the Nazis who had wedged themselves into our defenses north of Stalingrad. The enemy was still strong, he was rushing forward. In defensive battles, Soviet troops had to inflict maximum losses on the advancing enemy, bleed him, gain time to concentrate reserves and create the necessary conditions for launching a counteroffensive. Fighter pilot Alexander Bondar then carried out a wide variety of combat missions - accompanied attack aircraft that attacked German infantry and their tanks, covered bombers that destroyed enemy controls, reserves and airfields, intercepted enemy aircraft, covered areas where our reserves were concentrated, and flew out for reconnaissance , monitored the actions of enemy troops. During the historic counter-offensive of Soviet troops from the banks of the Volga, Alexander showed himself to be an experienced pilot. He was repeatedly appointed leader of a pair, flight, or squadron. On April 15, 1943, Lieutenant A. A. Bondar received the task of leading 6 fighters to cover the bombers. In the Starobelsk area, our planes met 6 Me-109s and 4 FW-190s. A fight ensued. Alexander Bondar’s group, thanks to well-organized interaction and friendly mutual assistance, shot down 3 enemy aircraft. The remaining cars hastened to escape. A. A. Bondar himself shot down one enemy plane in this battle. Soviet fighters returned to their base without losses. In August of the same year, when, after the defeat of German troops near Kursk, the troops of the Southwestern Front went on the offensive and, having crossed the Northern Donets in the Izium area, rushed to the west, intelligence reported that 18 German bombers were approaching our advancing troops under the cover of Me- 109. The flight of Senior Lieutenant A. A. Bondar, together with other fighters, patrolled in the front-line area. The enemy was not allowed to reach the target. Soviet pilots shot down 5 enemy aircraft in this battle. The flight commander himself destroyed one Junkers. 2 days after this battle, Alexander Bondar again led 8 “Yaks” to cover the ground forces. In the Izium area, the "hawks" met several dozen Junkers, which, under the cover of fighters, intended to bomb our advancing formations. There was no time to think. And Senior Lieutenant A.A. Bondar makes a bold decision. At his command, 2 pairs began a battle with enemy fighters, and the remaining 2 pairs attacked the bombers who were left without cover. The battle with a numerically superior enemy lasted 50 minutes. It was organized so successfully and competently that the commander of the 17th Air Army, General Sudets, who was watching it, personally congratulated Bondar on his brilliant victory. In fact, 8 Soviet fighters shot down 5 enemy aircraft, 2 of which were credited to the commander. The enemy's plans were thwarted. Our planes returned to their airfield without losses. The list of exploits of Alexander Alekseevich Bondar could be continued. But I think it’s enough to say that he took part in the battles for Zaporozhye and Nikopol, in the area of ​​Krivoy Rog and Odessa, near Grigoropol and Chisinau. And everywhere the command admired his “skillful handwriting.” Until mid-1944, Captain A. A. Bondar took part in 48 air battles and always emerged victorious. No, it wasn't just luck. He never went headlong into battle, although his burning hatred for the enemy gave him no rest. He had good reasons for this. By that time, he already knew that his father and brother had died in the fight against the Nazis, and he also knew that his native village of Zmeyskaya had been occupied and plundered by the Nazis. Before each battle, Alexander Alekseevich wisely compared all the pros and cons, took into account the weather conditions, and knew perfectly well the vulnerabilities of all types of enemy aircraft. In each specific battle, he used the most advantageous fighting technique. In May 1944, when Soviet troops, having captured a bridgehead on the western bank of the Dniester, fought heavy battles to retain and expand it, the enemy made every effort to liquidate this bridgehead and throw our troops into the Dniester. The enemy ground forces were supported by massive air raids. On that day, May 10, 30 FW-190s and 6 Me-109s suddenly appeared over the positions of our units. A group of fighters under the command of Captain A.A. Bondar was patrolling in the air. He was given an immediate order over the radio: keep enemy aircraft away from our ground forces. Captain Bondar had to make a lightning-fast decision. He quickly sent one pair of fighters to demonstrate a frontal attack, and he and the remaining 6 fighters, having gained altitude, unexpectedly attacked the enemy from the flank from behind the clouds. In the ensuing battle, 3 enemy aircraft were shot down. At the same time, the commander himself personally destroyed one fascist vehicle. The loss of 3 planes in an instant disrupted the enemy's battle formations so much that his planes scattered. The task was completed. Before the battles over Moldova, A. Bondar had already been awarded the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of Alexander Nevsky, three Orders of the Red Star and several medals. The command of the aviation regiment, petitioning for the awarding of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, indicated: “Captain Bondar Alexander Alekseevich for the period from October 30, 1942 to May 20, 1944, carried out 252 combat sorties with 265 flying hours, of which: to escort attack aircraft and bombers - 88 sorties, to cover ground troops - 122 sorties, to reconnaissance enemy troops - 20 sorties, to intercept enemy aircraft - 22 sorties. He participated in 48 air battles, in which he personally shot down 15 enemy aircraft, including: 4. bombers of the Khsh-129, Yu-88, Yu-87 types and 11 fighters of the Me-109 and FV-190 types, Alexander Bondar flew equally confidently on the Yak-1 and Yak-9 aircraft. in air battles he behaved calmly and courageously. Flying on combat missions as the leader of the group, he showed by his personal example examples of courage and resourcefulness, showed reasonable initiative in battles, always being an example for his subordinates. In June 1944, the commander of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, General. army F.I. Tolbukhin supported the petition to award Captain Alexander Alekseevich Bondar the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and on August 19, 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded him this honorary title. Alexander Alekseevich Bondar, after the historic victory in the Great Patriotic War, continued to serve in the Soviet Army in the Far East. In 1958, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he retired to the reserve.

Excerpt characterizing Bondar, Alexander Alekseevich

Occitania...

At the very top of a high stone mountain there were three people... One of them was Svetodar, he looked very sad. Nearby, leaning on his hand, stood a very beautiful young woman, and clinging to her was a small blond boy, clutching a huge armful of bright wildflowers to his chest.
– Who did you pick up so much for, Beloyarushka? – Svetodar asked affectionately.
“Well, how?!..” the boy was surprised, immediately dividing the bouquet into three even parts. - This is for mommy... And this is for dear grandmother Tara, and this is for grandmother Maria. Isn't that right, grandpa?
Svetodar did not answer, he only pressed the boy tightly to his chest. He was all he had left... this wonderful, affectionate baby. After his great-granddaughter Maria died during childbirth, whom Svetodar never saw, the baby had only Aunt Marcilla (who stood next to them) and his father, whom Beloyar hardly remembered, since he was always fighting somewhere.
- Is it true that you will never leave again now, grandfather? Is it true that you will stay with me and teach me? Aunt Marcilla says that from now on you will always live only with us. Is this true, grandpa?
The baby's eyes shone like bright stars. Apparently the appearance of such a young and strong grandfather from somewhere delighted the baby! Well, the “grandfather,” sadly hugging him, thought at that time about those whom he would never see again, even if he lived on Earth for a hundred lonely years...
- I’m not going anywhere, Beloyarushka. Where should I go if you are here?.. Now you and I will always be together, right? You and I are such a great force!.. Right?
The baby squealed with pleasure and kept huddling closer to his new grandfather, as if he could suddenly disappear, just as suddenly as he had appeared.
– Are you really not going anywhere, Svetodar? – Marcilla asked quietly.
