About This Item
Most likely, the second (bigger) photo is unknown.
These photos depicted the crew of Rodina (Fatherland) aircraft which performed a non-stop flight between Moscow and the Sea of Okhotsk on September 25, 1938. The aircraft crew consisted of commander Valentina Grizodubova (1909-1993), co-pilot Polina Osipenko (1907-1939), and navigator Marina Raskova (1912-1943). During the flight lasting 26 hours 29 minutes, a female world was established aviation range record. In adverse weather condition and with the failed radio equipment the crew flew by and Khabarovsk, which originally was the final point of the route. The plane was land on the belly directly to the swamp. Before that, Marina Raskova jumped with a parachute, as she was in the navigator's glass-enclosed cockpit in the nose of the aircraft, which could seriously suffer during landing. The crew was found in the taiga only on October 3.
On November 2 Grizodubova, Osipenko and Raskova become the first women who were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
