Russians’ bold polar flight aims for California
Reported by Washington and San Francisco dispatches, three Soviet aviators aboard a single monoplane pursued a non stop 6000 mile flight from Moscow toward San Francisco. They crossed near the North Pole amid sub zero winds, with ice forming on wings and weather hindering progress. The crew Valeri Pavinovich Chkalov, Georgy Baidukov, and Alexander Y. Beliy were led by Moscow to establish a Moscow to San Francisco air route via the pole, aiming for Oakland Airport this evening.
