Tupolev ANT-25 Record Breaking Flight Moscow - San Jacinto, CA (1937)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_...
The Tupolev ANT-25 was a Soviet long-range experimental aircraft which was also tried as a bomber. First constructed in 1933, it was used by the Soviet Union for a number of record-breaking flights.
Another widely publicized feat was the Moscow - San Jacinto non-stop flight in a backup aircraft just three weeks after Chkalov's. This jourmey, via the North Pole, covered 11,500 kilometres (7,100 mi). The crew, still composed of Gromov, Yumashev, and Danilin, flew for 62 hours and 17 minutes between 12 and 14 July 1937. After landing, the aircraft still had sufficient fuel for approximately 1,500 kilometres (930 mi), enough to reach Panama. This would have involved crossing the Mexican border without the permission of FAI sporting officials.
