About the place
The monument was installed in 1974 in honor of the aviators who defended and liberated Zaporizhzhia from the German invaders during World War II.
In August-September 1941, the aviators of the 5th High-Speed Bomber Aviation Regiment of the mixed aviation division of the 4th Air Army of the Southern Front took an active part in the defense of Zaporizhzhia. In the night of October 14, 1943, during a night raid, the left-bank part of Zaporizhzhia was liberated from the German invaders. The pilots of the 17th Air Army of the Southwest Front distinguished themselves in the battles for Zaporizhzhia. They made 2,217 sorties, destroyed 35 planes, 70 tanks, about 300 vehicles, 180 guns, and other enemy combat equipment.
The monument was erected in honor of these military personnel. After reconstruction in 1990, a La-5 aircraft mock-up was installed instead of a fighter plane.
