Vladimir Fedorovich Solyanik was born into a peasant family in the village of Razvilnoye, Peschanokopsky district. Lost his father early - Fyodor Martynovich died in civil war in a detachment of red partisans. Volodya had two sisters - Grunya and Maria. Mom - Anastasia Maksimovna - worked on a collective farm. In 1924, Volodya entered the primary Razvilenskaya school, from which he graduated in 1928. The next year he entered the School of Peasant Youth, in which, along with general education gave the basics of agronomic knowledge and was industrial training based on agricultural production. In 1932, Vladimir entered the evening department of the workers' faculty of the Rostov Institute of Agricultural Engineering. In parallel, he works at Rostselmash. In 1935, on a Komsomol ticket, he entered the Stalingrad military flight school named after the Red Banner Stalingrad proletariat, which he successfully graduated in 1938, receiving the first officer rank "lieutenant" and specialty "military pilot". On assignment, he was sent to Khabarovsk to the Long-Range Aviation. Here Vladimir Solyanik meets the love of his life - Catherine, with whom he formalizes his relationship in 1940. Already in February 1941, their son Yuri was born. And after the war - in 1947 - a new addition to the Solyanik family was born - a daughter, Larisa.

On the fronts of the Great Patriotic War - from May 1942. In May-September, Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Solyanik, transferred from The Far East in the 840th Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment and became the flight commander in it, most of his combat missions made to bomb the Nazi troops besieging Leningrad. Bombed targets in Pskov, Luga, Narva, on the Karelian Isthmus. Then the 840th regiment was relocated to Stalingrad. Combat missions began to bombard enemy targets in the region of Kotelnikovo, Tormosin, Morozovsk, Millerovo, Elista, Rostov-on-Don. At the end of 1942, Captain Solyanik from the plane DB-3 moved to IL-4 ... In 1943, combat missions were carried out against enemy targets in Rostov-on-Don, Donbass, Crimea, Melitopol, Orel, Kursk, and other targets. The regiment became the 20th Guards. From June 4, 1943 - Vladimir Solyanik - squadron commander and deputy commander of the 20th Guards Bomber Regiment. He fought in units of Long-Range Aviation and as part of the 18th Air Force. By this time, the crew of the Il-4 had become unchanged: the commander was the guard major (from July 1943) Solyanik, the deputy navigator of the guard air regiment Captain Groshev, the navigator of the guard air regiment Major Domoratsky, the gunner-radio operator of the guard foreman Pavlenko, the gunner — senior sergeant Matsenov. The crew had to make a lot of night flights to bomb Nazi targets in the Crimea, for which the 20th Guards Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment later received the honorary name "Sevastopol".
Vladimir Solyanik flew airplanes U-2 , P-5 , DB-3, but most of the sorties were made on IL-4.
Successfully completed 16 combat missions to especially long-range targets. In 1944: February 26 - Helsinki, April 11 - Constanta (Romania), May 11 - Lublin (Poland), June 5 and 6 - Iasi (Romania), August 23 - Tilsit (Kaliningrad region), September 14 and October 26 - Budapest, September 15 and 20 - Debrecen (Hungary), October 7 - Breslau (Poland). In 1945: January 15 - Lodz (Poland), February 20 - Stettin (Poland), March 9 - Konningsberg (Kaliningrad), March 20 - Danzig (Poland), April 20 - Berlin.
April 16, 1945, on the day Berlin operation, the crew of Solyanik performed a combat flight to bomb the front edge of the Nazi defense in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Frankfurt. On this day, German bombers also flew to bomb our positions. In the sky, even above our troops, a meeting took place, and the German bomber was heading on to Solyanik's plane head-on on a head-on course. On a menacing close range Commander Solyanik showed true composure and skill, skillfully deviating and avoiding a collision, and the shooter managed to put a couple of bursts into the Junkers' gas tanks, from which he caught fire and exploded in the air on his own bombs. At this time, Solyanik noticed bombs falling from above - this was another German bomber chaotically disposing of ammunition in order to get out as soon as possible. Bombs rained down right in front of the cockpit. The commander again had to sharply maneuver, avoiding collisions with enemy bombs. Then our fighters arrived and took up German aircraft closely, and the crew of the Guards Major Solyanik calmly fulfilled the assigned combat mission.
On April 20, 1945, Vladimir Solyanik made one of his final combat missions during the war. The goal was longed for - Berlin. But after taking off from the ground, the flaps were not removed from the take-off angle (should be removed after reaching a speed of 160-200 km / h). The commander and crew decided to extend the flight. In 10-point cloud cover, many crews did not find the target and returned to base. Saltman decided to bomb out from under the clouds. Skillfully piloting an icy plane with unrecoverable flaps only on instruments, he accurately ate at the target and completed the task.
By May 1945, he flew 212 sorties, of which 207 - at night. The total flight time is 1651 hours, of which 776 - during the day, 876 - at night. As deputy commander of the floor, he flew 39 sorties for control, 22 for target illumination, 16 for weather reconnaissance. He flew in any weather conditions. He was engaged in the training and commissioning of young pilots. In total he trained 15 aces pilots.
“We passed our difficult test of skill and courage from the most ruthless examiner - the war. And went to the last battle so that no one ever fought in the world ... "
V.F. Solyanik
Memories
Alexey Nikolaevich Cat
"Winged Sons of the Fatherland".
Navigator's Notes:
The front went further and further west. In many places, he crossed the state border of the USSR. The Red Army fought in East Prussia, Poland and Romania.
It was decided to fly closer to the front. On September 5, the 20th Sevastopol regiment flew to Lutsk, and the 10th Stalingrad regiment flew to the Shepetin airfield, near the city of Kremenets.
Preparing for the flight, I thought that important events in my life had taken place in this city: I was awarded the title of “first class ADD navigator”. Here I was awarded a high award - I became a Hero of the Soviet Union, and my daughter Galinka was born here ...
On the morning of September 5, we took off from the airfield. At the helm, Vladimir Fedorovich Solyanik, appointed deputy regiment commander. Short, broad-shouldered, with slightly laughing eyes, with a pleasant smile, he liked Major Solyanik at the first meeting. A first-class pilot, a brave warrior, a strong-willed commander, a man of great soul.
This is not my first flight with the Major. Once, when the navigator of the 2nd squadron, Captain G. A. Lushchenko, fell ill, I flew with Solyanik on a combat mission and even then I was imbued with great respect for this courageous man, who was fluent in flying. More than once I have noted that I am still lucky to have good pilot-commanders: Evdokimov, Alin, Podoba, Solyanik ... And this is very important for the success of combat work.
In aviation, it happens that you meet a pilot who, it seems, shines with all his qualities, but he is not suitable as a commander. Something is missing in it. But Solyanik is a skilled pilot and an intelligent commander. A good combination!
We make a farewell circle and head west. After an hour and a half of flight, Lutsk appeared, relatively little destroyed, with white roofs.
Combat work was immediately resumed at the new airfield. Until the end of the month, we took part in raids on enemy targets in the cities of Satu Mare, Debrecen, Budapest.
Our troops, overcoming stubborn enemy resistance, reached the border of Hungary, which remained the only satellite of Nazi Germany. The Hitlerite command made tremendous efforts to preserve their last ally. The Germans needed the help of the Hungarian army, they needed the material resources of this country.
On September 15, we received the task to strike at Debrecen, an important railway junction in Hungary, to which six highways stretched. Military supplies were flowing through the junction to the front. The city housed reserve military units, warehouses with military equipment, ammunition, and fuel. It was necessary to disable this communication center of the enemy and thereby help the advancing Soviet troops.
We accomplished this task very successfully. Returning home, we observed fires and explosions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe site and in the city for a long time.
Observing and photographing the target, it was established that three echelons, an ammunition and fuel depot had burned out from our bombs.
... There is a joyful holiday in the Sevastopol regiment. Pilot Semyon Levchuk and navigator Boris Shesternin were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. We congratulated the young talented warriors who performed excellent combat missions and wished them new successes. This event seemed to delight Lieutenant Colonel S. A. Gelbak the most. Still would! It allowed him to emphasize once again: “Heroes grew up in my regiment. It was I who raised and educated them. " Well, this time he was understandable.
The commander of the crew Semyon Levchuk and navigator Boris Shesternin arrived in the 20th regiment from the school. Both are young, of course, they had no combat experience. And the desire to participate in the battles was great. This desire and even the outstanding abilities of young aviators became a decisive factor in the formation of the crew. The commander of the 2nd squadron, Vladimir Solyanik, and the navigator of this squadron, Grigory Lushchenko, immediately noticed Levchuk and Shesternin, correctly appreciated their merits, and were one of the first young people to give the go-ahead to participate in combat work. Soon Levchuk's crew began flying on a par with others on combat missions. First, to bombard targets, and then - by an illuminator and a photographer.
Semyon Levchuk, brave and decisive in combat missions, modest and silent on the ground, somehow immediately fell in love with both commanders and comrades. Boris Shesternin is a man of versatile interests, a pleasant conversationalist. He not only perfectly mastered his navigational business, but was fond of literature, art, loved technology.
* * *
On February 20, we had to scout out the weather on a long route from Lutsk to Stettin. We fly without bombs, just in case we took spare cartridge belts. Flight altitude - 600 meters. Rare clouds floated overhead. Good visibility. Ground is covered with snow. Rivers, roads, villages, farms are clearly visible. It's good to fly during the day, but it rarely happens. We are the night lights. Night flights have their advantages: we see everything we need, and our plane can only be guessed from the ground by the sound ... And yet we miss the day flight ...
The fighting moved far to the west. Back on January 17, the troops of the 1st Belorussian Front, with the participation of the 1st Polish Army, liberated Warsaw. On January 29, the troops of this front crossed the German border west of Poznan, and on February 3, the crossing of the last water obstacle on the way to Berlin - the Oder River began.
We fly over the Western Bug, Vistula. We periodically inform the checkpoint about the flight progress and the weather. Beneath us, wriggling like a snake railway Warsaw - Lodz. The front is approaching. There are many cars and carts on the roads. The clouds became less frequent, the sun came out. But the absence of clouds does not make us happy: there will be nothing to mask with the appearance of enemy fighters.
On every sortie, we pay special attention to the defenses of the bomber. At night, as you know, the crew has to fight off the fighters themselves, there is no cover. Therefore, the crew members, and especially the aerial gunners, must be vigilant at all times. We have long studied the habits of the enemy, his all sorts of cunning, insidious tricks. German fighters, trying to mislead us, flew on a head-on and passing courses, with side lights lit, dropped lighting bombs above the bombers, and attacked them from below in the beams of searchlights. Only constant and vigilant observation of the air allowed most of our crews to take the necessary measures in a timely manner, maneuver, leave the danger zone or fight back.
Today is a day flight, we have no cover. We rely only on our discretion, on our weapons.
We fly at the same altitude. The city of Poznan appeared to the left. Clouds of black smoke rise to a great height above it. There the surrounded enemy still does not surrender. We are approaching the Polish-German border. You can learn it from the air without a map. In Poland, houses are white, covered with white tiles or iron, while in Germany all buildings are red: red bricks, red tiles. No people are visible on German soil. Only on the roads are cars rushing, tanks are our military equipment.
- The situation is clear, maybe we will return? There are no clouds in the west, - suggests Major Solyanik.
- Let's fly another seven minutes. We will fly to the area according to the order, - I answer.
The Oder loomed ahead. The Germans are across the river. They dug deep into the ground - into the land of the Reich. This is not the forty-first year ... West as far as you can see blue sky, not a cloud anywhere. Be a combat mission today!
We unfold. We fly back. Only the meteorological situation was reported to the command post, when suddenly two Messerschmitts appeared.
- Prepare for battle! - commanded Major Solyanik.
Fascist pilots tried to attack us on the move. It didn't work out. We open a friendly fire. One fighter started to smoke and went away. But then two more "Messers" appeared. The commander makes the only correct decision under these conditions - he transfers the plane to steep gliding, to low-level flight.
Began stubborn unequal fight... We used up all the cartridges, used spare tapes, held on to the last. And suddenly the German fighters rolled aside. What's the matter? Are you up to something?
- Our Yaks have appeared! - Yurchenko reported happily.
I'm really looking at our fighters. They go to the Messers. Those, not accepting the fight, run away. Then two red-star "hawks" came up to us. In the cabins we see the smiling faces of our comrades. Waving their wings, the Yaks leave on their own course. How grateful we are to them for such a timely receipt!
Our path goes a little south of Warsaw. We decide to change course and look at the Polish capital. During the war years, we had to see the ruins of many Soviet cities. Some of them were completely destroyed. But Warsaw also looked like a completely dead city. We flew over it from west to east at an altitude of only 200 meters and did not notice a single surviving building. Around a mountain of broken bricks and stones. In many places it was impossible to guess where the street passed ... This could only be done by brutal fascists!
After landing, the division commander was reported about the weather in the area of \u200b\u200bthe upcoming sortie. That night, the crews of the compound launched a massive bombing strike against military installations in the city of Stettin. The enemy air defense offered stubborn resistance. More than six antiaircraft artillery battalions fired strong barrage. The Me-110, equipped with radar devices, were patrolling in the air. A direct hit by an anti-aircraft shell knocked out the plane of the 20th Guards Regiment, piloted by pilot N.I.Bogintsev. The crew, barely reaching the front line, parachuted and landed in the location of our troops. Three more aircraft of this regiment received significant damage.

In May-September 1942, Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Solyanik, who was transferred from the Far East to the 840th Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment of the ADD and became a flight commander in it, made most of his combat missions to bomb the Nazi troops besieging Leningrad. Bombed targets in Pskov, Luga, Narva, on the Karelian Isthmus.
Then the 840th Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment was redeployed to Stalingrad. Combat missions began to bombard enemy targets in the area of \u200b\u200bKotelnikovo, Tormosin, Morozovsk, Millerovo, Elista, Rostov.
At the end of that same year, 1942, Captain Solyanik moved from the DB-3 plane to the Il-4. The flying range has increased dramatically. In 1943, enemy targets in Rostov, Donbass, Crimea, Melitopol, Orel, Kursk and other areas fell into its reach. In June 1943, the regiment in which Captain Solyanik fought became the 20th Guards. By this time, the crew of the Il-4 had become unchanged: the commander - guard major (since July 1943) Solyanik, deputy navigator of the guard air regiment Captain Groshev, navigator of the guard air regiment Major Domoratsky, guard radio operator Petty Officer Pavlenko and guard gunner senior sergeant Matsenov. The crew had to carry out a lot of night flights to bomb Nazi targets in the Crimea, for which the 20th Guards Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment later received the honorary name "Sevastopol".
From the beginning of 1944, along with the usual combat work, the crew of the guard of Major Solyanik began to be given combat missions to bombard enemy targets in its deep rear. So on February 6, 1944, the crew flew to Helsinki. With an 8-point cloud cover at an altitude of 700-800 meters, with strong opposition from anti-aircraft artillery and searchlights, Solyanik accurately hit the target and successfully completed the task.
There were flights to Constanta, Lublin, Iasi, Tilsit, Budapest, Debrecen, Lodz, Koenigsberg.
On April 16, 1945, on the day of the start of the Berlin operation, the Solyanik crew performed a combat mission to bomb the front edge of the Nazi defense in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Frankfurt. On this day, German bombers also flew to bomb our positions. A meeting took place in the sky over our troops, and one German plane was heading on to Solyanik's plane on a head-on course. At an alarmingly close range, Solyanik showed composure and skill, skillfully deviated, avoiding a collision, and the shooters managed to put several bursts into the Junkers' gas tanks, which made him burn and exploded on his bombs. At this time, Solyanik noticed bombs falling from above - another German bomber began indirect bombing at our troops in order to get out as soon as possible. Bombs rained down right in front of the cockpit - Solyanik again had to maneuver sharply and get his plane out of the strike. After that, our fighters took over the German bombers, and the crew of the guard of Major Solyanik continued their assignment.
On April 20, 1945, Solyanik made his one of the last combat missions during the war. The goal was longed for - Berlin. But after taking off from the ground at Solyanik's plane, the shields did not get out of the take-off angle. The commander and crew decided to continue the flight. In 10-point clouds, many crews did not find the target and returned to their base. Saltman decided to bomb out from under the clouds. Piloting an icy plane with non-retractable instrument guards, he accurately went to the target and completed the task.
In total, VF Solyanik made 212 sorties during the war.
