Luckily little Freddie knew that re-enforcements for the panzer arm were on the way.

Here is something I never knew until now. In June 1937, the Soviets flew an airplane from Russia, over the polar regions
down to Southern California. Stopping along the way at a few points. Tupolev ANT-25 at San Jacinto, California [near
March AFB at Riverside], U.S.A., June 20 1937.

Much interesting info on these flights. One source said the pilot and navigator were later arrested in USSR for espionage as they knew the Nav route to the US. There is a second ANT-25 lost somewhere along the polar route to the US. It has been years since I read the articles about these flights, so memory fades may exist. Maybe "global warming" will reveal where it went down along with other notable aircraft. There is an ANT-25 repro in a Russian museum.

The USSR is gone, but don't give Vlad any ideas.
Wasn't it a twin engine Soviet plane that went missing?
