In 1940, the Military Academy for Air Force Engineers “Prof. NJ Schukowski “ outsourced the faculties for commanders, radio locators and helmsmen . The academy was built on the basis of these faculties, supplemented by qualification courses for senior management. The newly established facility was initially referred to as the military academy for commanders and helmsmen of the Red Army Air Force . One year after the end of World War II , the academy was renamed the Military Academy of the Air Forces. After the early death of Yuri Gagarin , the military academy got his name. The seat of the academy is in Monino , a place near Moscow . The previous military academy of the air force "Nikolai J. Zhukovsky" became in 1946 the military academy for engineers of the air force .
At the academy, commanders of the various air force careers are primarily trained. In addition, it is the scientific center for working out the problems of the operational art of the air forces and the tactics of the individual types of aircraft.
