<Théodore Champion> September 1926 “Russian Review” reports: “Moscow Air Flights to Persia and to Turkey In the course of July Soviet aviators accomplished two remarkable flights to the Near Eastern countries bordering on the Soviet Union. The flight Moscow-Teheran, covering a distance of nearly 2,000 miles, was accomplished in 17 hours, the airplane making about 117 miles per hour. - The return flight was effected in one day in spite of the bad weather. Equally successful was the MoscowAngora flight, quite a dangerous sector of the route having been accomplished across the Black Sea under unfavorable weather conditions.”
