To the 75th anniversary of the legendary flights along the "Stalin route"! The true story of the polar breakthrough of Soviet aviation, which secured the status of a great aviation power for the USSR. Chkalov, a month later - the crew of M.M. Gromov on the same machine, and in August - a giant four-engine DB-A under the command of S.A. Levanevsky. But if the flights of Chkalov and Gromov became a real triumph of the USSR, then Levanevsky's plane went missing - they still argue about the causes of the disaster, its place has not been found. What actually happened beyond the Arctic Circle in August 1937? Is it true that the record-breaking flights along the "Stalin route" were not so much a propaganda action as tests of promising military equipment? What role was assigned to the DB-1 long-range bomber, created on the basis of the Chkalovsky ANT-25, in a future chemical war? Did the tragic death of Levanevsky affect the fate of DB-A, which at the time of the flight had no equal in range, speed and payload, but in the end lost in the "arms race" to the even more advanced heavy bomber TB-7 (Pe-8)? And why did the Soviet practice of converting record-breaking aircraft into combat aircraft and vice versa fail completely? A new book by a leading aviation historian answers all these questions. Collector's edition on top quality coated paper illustrated with hundreds of exclusive drawings and photographs.
