  • Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet Service Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" In
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology. One of the captured Ar 234s was restored to airworthy condition in 1946 and used by the LII for testing brake parachutes. 140355 no code Ar 234B-2 Soviet Air Force f/f 30nov44 previously opb KG 76 of the German Air Force; in dark green/brown purple camo c/s with light grey undersides, the last letter of the unit code may have been an 'F'; captured by Soviet troops in damaged condition (after a forced landing) reportedly at Pütnitz mar45, but

    Mystery of the Third trip or time pressure Levanevskogo The author-composer: Kostarev Evgeny . 2007/2008 Part 1. Start "Flying high above, and the farthest the fastest! " Battle cry of the Soviet government. Shortcut In autumn 1934 the Hero of the Soviet Union, the polar marine pilot Sigismund Alexandrovich Levanevskogo enticed by the idea Flight. He was the first in the Soviet Union, who suggested the idea of non-stop flight across the North Pole. The starting point of the route was Moscow; fit to accomplish the same in the U.S. The Soviet government in this project was received with great interest and supported the idea of non-stop transpolar flight. Of course! From Moscow to San Francisco can be reached in three ways - through the pole across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. In this case, the distance will be 9,605 km, 14,000 km and 18,000 respectively. Sigismund Levanevsky Zygmunt A. Levanevsky - a very controversial figure in the history of Soviet aviation. He was born in 1902 in St. Petersburg. Levanevskogo father, a Polish worker, died when he was only 8 years old. In 1916, after graduating from three classes of the district school, Sigismund gave up teaching and went to work in a factory the company "Spring" in order to feed his family. Revolution scattered Levanevskogo the world - Sigismund in 1919, joined the Red Army, and his family moved from Petrograd. During the Civil War Levanevsky managed to get a fighter requisition, party members, eliminate gangs in Dagestan, and assistant warden 4th aeronautic squad in Petrograd.

  • Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (The Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea)
    Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea) Seventeenth century 1629 At the Yenisei Voivodes’ House “The Inventory of the Lena, the Great River” was compiled and it reads that “the Lena River flows into the sea with its mouth.” 1633 The armed forces of Yenisei Cossacks, headed by Postnik, Ivanov, Gubar, and M. Stadukhin, arrived at the lower reaches of the Lena River. The Tobolsk Cossack, Ivan Rebrov, was the first to reach the mouth of Lena, departing from Yakutsk. He discovered the Olenekskiy Zaliv. 1638 The first Russian march toward the Pacific Ocean from the upper reaches of the Aldan River with the departure from the Butalskiy stockade fort was headed by Ivan Yuriev Moskvitin, a Cossack from Tomsk. Ivan Rebrov discovered the Yana Bay. He Departed from the Yana River, reached the Indigirka River by sea, and built two stockade forts there. 1641 The Cossack foreman, Mikhail Stadukhin, was sent to the Kolyma River. 1642 The Krasnoyarsk Cossack, Ivan Erastov, went down the Indigirka River up to its mouth and by sea reached the mouth of the Alazeya River, being the first one at this river and the first one to deliver the information about the Chukchi. 1643 Cossacks F. Chukichev, T. Alekseev, I. Erastov, and others accomplished the sea crossing from the mouth of the Alazeya River to the Lena. M. Stadukhin and D. Yarila (Zyryan) arrived at the Kolyma River and founded the Nizhnekolymskiy stockade fort on its bank.

  • Chertok Front Matter
    Chertok ch1 12/21/04 11:27 AM Page 1 Chapter 1 Introduction: A Debt to My Generation On 1 March 2002, I turned ninety. On that occasion, many people not only congratulated me and wished me health and prosperity, but also insisted that I continue my literary work on the history of rocket-space science and technology.1 I was eighty years old when I had the audacity to think that I possessed not only waning engineering capabilities, but also literary skills sufficient to tell about “the times and about myself.” I began to work in this field in the hope that Fate’s goodwill would allow my idea to be realized. Due to my literary inexperience, I assumed that memoirs on the establishment and development of aviation and, subsequently, rocket-space technology and the people who created it could be limited to a single book of no more than five hundred pages. However, it turns out that when one is producing a literary work aspiring to historical authenticity,one’s plans for the size and the deadlines fall through, just as rocket-space systems aspiring to the highest degree of reliability exceed their budgets and fail to meet their deadlines. And the expenses grow, proportional to the failure to meet deadlines and the increase in reliability. Instead of the original idea of a single book, my memoirs and musings took up four volumes, and together with the publishing house I spent six years instead of the planned two! Only the fact that the literary work was a success, which neither the publishing house nor I expected, validated it.

  • Chapter 2 “An Uneasy Invitation
    2. An Uneasy Invitation 2. An Uneasy Invitation In July 1961, a 27 year old Soviet air force Major, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, arrived in the UK. He was still the only person to have been in Earth orbit. He had flown higher (327 km) and faster (27400 km/h) than anyone before him. He saw the Earth in its entirety, experienced strong, hot sunlight undiluted by the Earth’s atmosphere, glimpsed with his naked eye the brightness of stars against the blackest sky whilst subjected to an extended sensation of weightlessness. For many who saw him in London and Manchester, this was a rare encounter. He was a representative of humanity testing a completely new environment from which he could not have been certain of a safe return. The uneasy friendship between the allies (Britain, Soviet Union, France and the United States) during World War Two evaporated into the Cold War, in some respects even before the War had ended. The Berlin blockade between 1948 and 1949 was the first major dispute, and another was brewing at the time of Gagarin’s first visit to the west in 1961. The Soviets in pursuit of their political ideology built a wall around West Berlin, initiating a political stalemate that would endure for almost three decades. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins’ world tour after their momentous landing on the Moon in July 1969 was to follow in the footsteps of Gagarin’s hectic world tour following his historic space flight on 12th April 1961. Between late April and early August 1961, Gagarin visited ten countries, and a week after his UK visit, Gagarin was in Poland and Cuba.
