21. Nikolai Egorovich Zhukovsky is considered the founder of aviation in Russia. 
22. It is his words that express the idea of aviation: 
Chetverikov Igor Vyacheslavovich (1904-1987)
Soviet aircraft designer. He designed and built several flying boats, including the OSGA-101 amphibious aircraft.
The construction of OSGA-101 was completed by the spring of 1934. Unfortunately, it was not possible to make the plane by the time the Chelyuskin entered the Northern Sea Route, and on its first and last voyage the icebreaking steamer left with the Sha-2 amphibian designed by V. B. Shavrov on board.
Shavrov Vadim Borisovich (1898 - 1976)
Soviet aircraft designer, aviation historian. He is best known for the creation of several types of flying boats and the two-volume monograph "The History of Aircraft Design in the USSR", the creator of the Sh-2 amphibious aircraft common in the pre-war years. 
Aleksandrov Vladimir Leontyevich (1894-1962)
Aircraft designer, scientist in the field of aircraft construction, student of N. E. Zhukovsky. Co-author of the project of the first Soviet passenger
aircraft AK-1 (1924). In 1938-41 he was imprisoned, worked in the Central Design Bureau-29 of the NKVD. Rehabilitated.
Aircraft AK-1 - the first domestic four-seater passenger aircraft of V.L. Aleksandrov and V.V. Kalinin. Kalinin completed the settlement part.
Built in November 1923. The AK-1 aircraft was not mass-produced. this aircraft, in terms of its passenger capacity, was significantly inferior to the German Junkers Ju-13 and Dornier III aircraft, as well as the Fokker F-111 aircraft, which were operated in the mid-20s on Soviet airlines. 
Porokhovshchikov Alexander Alexandrovich (1892-1943)
Russian designer, entrepreneur, pilot. Grandfather of actor Alexander Porokhovshchikov.
After the October Revolution, a pilot in the Red Army.
Aircraft P-IV BIS - training, for initial training.
Produced from February 1917 to spring 1923. 
Putilov Alexander Ivanovich (1893-1979)
Soviet aircraft designer. Worked in the Design Bureau of A. N. Tupolev. Participated in the creation of the first ANT aircraft. Developed aircraft "Steel-2",
"Steel-3", "Steel-11".
In 1938-1940. was imprisoned in TsKB-29 of the NKVD, worked in the brigade of V. M. Petlyakov.
Aircraft "Steel-2" - 4-seat passenger aircraft, the first airliner with a stainless steel frame.
First flight - October 11, 1931. Production 1932-1935. 
Kalinin Konstantin Alekseevich (1887-1938)
Soviet aircraft designer and pilot.
During the 1st World War, the head of the squadron. Participated in the Civil War as a pilot of the Red Army.
In 1923 he began building aircraft at a factory in Kyiv. In 1926 he headed the design bureau in Kharkov.
In 1938, on false charges, Kalinin was arrested and shot seven months after his arrest, in the dungeons of the Voronezh NKVD.
The accusation was standard for 1937-38. - "anti-Soviet activities and espionage". The closed court session of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court lasted only 10 minutes, there were no defense counsel or witnesses. The sentence was carried out immediately after the end of the meeting. This fact in the biography of such an outstanding person is so incomprehensible that it requires a separate
research. Suffice it to say that, unlike other aircraft designers arrested in those years, who after the arrest nevertheless continued to work in the Special Design Bureau of the NKVD, Kalinin was not given such an opportunity.
Aircraft K-5
The most massive passenger aircraft of the pre-war period. First flight October 18, 1929 Years of production 1930-1934.
In production and operation, it was simpler and cheaper than its competitor, the Tupolev ANT-9.
Sergei Vladimirovich Ilyushin was born in 1894.
Soviet aircraft designer, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1968), Colonel General of the Engineering and Technical Service (1967), three times Hero of Socialist Labor (1941, 1957, 1974). In the Soviet Army since 1919, first an aircraft mechanic, then a military commissar, and since 1921 the head of an aircraft repair train. Graduated from the Air Force Academy. Professor N.E. Zhukovsky (1926).
Since 1935, Ilyushin - chief designer, in 1956-1970. - general designer. Under his leadership, mass-produced attack aircraft Il-2, Il-10, bombers Il-4, Il-28, passenger aircraft Il-12, Il-14, Il-18, Il-62, as well as a number of experimental and experimental aircraft.
Sergei Vladimirovich Ilyushin was awarded the FAI Gold Aviation Medal.
Bronze busts of the pilot were installed in Moscow and Vologda. The name of Ilyushin is the Moscow Machine-Building Plant.
The great Soviet designer died in 1977.
Semyon Alekseevich Lavochkin - the most famous Soviet aircraft designer, corresponding member. Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1958), Major General of the Aviation Engineering Service (1944), twice Hero of Socialist Labor (1943, 1956).
He graduated from MVTU in 1927.
In 1940, together with M.I. Gudkov and V.P. Gorbunov presented the LaGG-1 (I-22) fighter for testing, which, after modifications, was launched into a series under the name LaGG-3 (I-301). During its development, Lavochkin for the first time in the USSR used a new especially durable material - delta wood. The conversion of the LaGG to a more powerful Shavrov ASH-82 engine saved the aircraft from being withdrawn from mass production. In September 1942, the first serial La-5s were transferred to the Stalingrad area. The further development of this aircraft was the La-5F, La-5FN, La-7 fighters, which were widely used during the Great Patriotic War.
In the postwar years, under the leadership of the aircraft designer Lavochkin, a number of jet serial and experimental fighters were created, incl. La-160 is the first domestic aircraft with a swept wing and La-176, on which for the first time in the USSR on December 26, 1948, a flight speed equal to the speed of sound was achieved. The La-15 fighter, produced in a small series (500 aircraft), became the last serial aircraft designed by Lavochkin.
On June 9, 1960, Semyon Alekseevich Lavochkin died suddenly of a heart attack at the training ground in Sary-Shagan.
− Mikoyan - the famous designer of MiGs
Artyom Ivanovich Mikoyan was born in 1905.
Soviet aircraft designer, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1968; Corresponding Member 1953), Colonel General of the Engineering Service (1967), twice Hero of Socialist Labor (1956, 1957).

(1895-1985)
Soviet designer of aircraft engines, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1943), Major General-Engineer (1944), Hero of Socialist Labor (1940). He studied at Moscow Higher Technical School, a student of N.E. Zhukovsky. From 1923 he worked at the Scientific Automotive Institute (since 1925 as chief designer), from 1930 at TsIAM, from 1936 at the aircraft engine plant. M.V. Frunze. In 1935-55. taught at Moscow Higher Technical School and VVIA. In the early 30s. under the leadership of Mikulin, the first Soviet liquid-cooled aircraft engine M-34 was created, on the basis of which a number of engines of various power and purpose were later built. The M-34 (AM-34) type engines were used to power the record-breaking ANT-25 aircraft, TB-3 bombers, and many other aircraft. The AM-35A engine was installed on the MiG-1, MiG-3 fighters, TB-7 (Pe-8) bombers. During the war, Mikulin supervised the creation of boosting the AM-38F and AM-42 engines for the Il-2 and Il-10 attack aircraft. In 1943-55. Mikulin is the chief designer of the Experimental Aircraft Engine Plant No. 30 in Moscow. 
(1892 – 1962)
Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of the State Prize of the USSR, engineer major general.
V.Ya. Klimov studied at the laboratory of automobile engines, which was headed by Academician E.A. Chukadov.
From 1918 to 1924, he was the head of the laboratory of light engines at the NAMI NTO of the USSR, taught at the Moscow Higher Technical School, the Lomonosov Institute and the Academy of the Air Force.
In 1924, he was sent to Germany for the purchase and acceptance of the BMW-4 engine (in licensed production of the M-17).
From 1928 to 1930 he is on a business trip to France, where he is also engaged in the purchase of the Gnome-Ron Jupiter-7 engine (in licensed production of M-22).
From 1931 to 1935, Vladimir Yakovlevich headed the department of gasoline engines of the newly created IAM (later VIAM) and headed the engine design department of the MAI. In 1935, as the Chief Designer of Plant No. 26 in Rybinsk, he was sent to France to negotiate the acquisition of a license for the production of a 12-cylinder, V-shaped Hispano-Suiza 12 Ybrs engine, which in the USSR received the designation M-100. The development of this engine - the VK-103, VK-105PF and VK-107A engines during the war years were installed on all Yakovlev fighters and on the Petlyakov Pe-2 bomber. At the end of the war, Klimov developed the VK-108 engine, but it never went into mass production. 
(1892 - 1953)
Soviet designer of aircraft engines, doctor of technical sciences, (1940), lieutenant general of the engineering service (1948).
Born on 12 (24) 01/1892, in the village. Lower Sergi, now the Sverdlovsk region. In 1921 he graduated from Moscow Higher Technical School.
In 1925–1926, in collaboration with metallurgist N.V. Okromeshko, he created the M-11 five-cylinder star-shaped aircraft engine, which, according to test results, won the competition for an engine for training aircraft and became the first domestic serial air-cooled aircraft engine.
In 1934 he was appointed Chief Designer of the Perm Engine Plant (1934).
In the period from 1934 to 1953, under the leadership of A.D. Shvetsov, a family of air-cooled piston engines was created, covering the entire era of the development of this type of engine, from the five-cylinder M-25 with a power of 625 hp. up to 28-cylinder ASh-2TK with a power of 4500 hp. The engines of this family were installed on Tupolev, Ilyushin, Lavochkin, Polikarpov, Yakovlev aircraft, which made a decisive contribution to the cause of gaining air supremacy in the Great Patriotic War. Engines with the ASh brand (Arkady Shvetsov) served with great benefit and still serve in peacetime.
In the 30s. under the leadership of Shvetsov, the M-22, M-25, M-62, M-63 engines were created for the I-15, I-16 fighters, etc.; in the 40s. - a number of piston star-shaped air-cooled engines of successively increasing capacities of the ASh family: ASh-62IR (for transport aircraft Li-2, An-2), ASh-82, ASh-82FN (for La-5, La-7 fighters, Tu- 2, passenger aircraft Il-12, Il-14), engines for the M.L. Mil Mi-4 helicopter, etc. Shvetsov created a school of air-cooled engine designers.
Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of the 2nd-3rd convocations. Hero of Socialist Labor (1942). Laureate of the Stalin Prizes (1942, 1943, 1946, 1948). Awarded 5 orders of Lenin, 3 other orders, and medals. Gold medal "Hammer and Sickle", five Orders of Lenin, Order of Suvorov 2nd class, Order of Kutuzov 1st class, Order of the Red Banner of Labor, medal "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945".
71 years ago, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War began, in which aviation was used on an unprecedented scale. Concerning website recalls the famous creators of aircraft of the Second World War. The illustrations are taken from the multiplayer air action game, which will allow many of their creations to be flown. Since only Soviet, American and German cars will be in the game at launch, we have chosen a couple of constructors from these countries.
OKB Ilyushin
The son of a poor peasant from the Vologda province, SergeyVladimirovichIlyushin He started working at the age of 15, and during the First World War he became an airfield minder and trained as a pilot. Since then, his life has been forever associated with aviation, and by the end of the 30s he was already heading his own design bureau. Sergei Vladimirovich did a lot for the development of the domestic aircraft industry, and his main creation is the most massive combat aircraft in history, the famous attack aircraft IL-2.
After the war, the Design Bureau continued to develop bombers and attack aircraft, but for various reasons they did not go into production. But the transport Il-76 and the passenger Il-86 became one of the most common cars in Soviet times. But after the collapse of the USSR, the demand for the products of domestic aircraft manufacturers dropped sharply, and, for example, a little more than two dozen modern Il-96 liners have been built today.
Single and double Il-2, Il-8, Il-10, Il-20, Il-40
OKB-51 (Polikarpov / Sukhoi)
Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov was born in the Oryol province and, following the example of his father, a priest, graduated from a religious school and entered the seminary. However, he never became a father, but graduated from the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and, under the guidance of the famous designer Igor Sikorsky, participated in the creation of the Ilya Muromets bomber. In 1929, Polikarpov was almost shot because of a denunciation, and then they wanted to send him to camps for ten years, but the intervention of the legendary pilot Valery Chkalov helped.
Under the guidance of the designer, such well-known aircraft as the "heavenly slug" were created U-2 and I-153"The Seagull", and after his death, the territory of OKB-51 passed to Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi, another famous engineer who created more than 50 machine designs during his career. Today Sukhoi Design Bureau- one of the leading Russian airlines, whose combat aircraft (for example, Su-27 and Su-30 multirole fighters) are in service in dozens of countries.
What models will be available at the launch of World of Warplanes: I-5, I-15, I-16
Bell Aircraft
aircraft mechanic Lawrence Bell in 1912, he almost did away with airplanes for good when his older brother, stunt pilot Gruver Bell, died in a crash. But friends persuaded not to bury talent in the ground, and in 1928 appeared Bell Aircraft who created the most famous American WWII fighter P-39 Airacobra. An interesting fact: thanks to deliveries to the USSR and Great Britain and the exploits of the aces of these countries, the Airacobra has the highest individual victory rate of all American aircraft ever created.
Bell also released the first American jet fighter P-59 Airacomet, but after that it completely switched to the development of combat and transport helicopters and even changed its name to Bell Helicopter. The company knew the main glory during the Vietnam War: after all, it was she who created the famous UH-1"Huey", still in service with the US Army and many other countries, as well as a combat helicopter AH-1 Cobra. Today, the company continues to develop transport vehicles, such as the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, produced in conjunction with Boeing.
What models will be available at the launch of World of Warplanes: The Airacobra is shown in the video about American aircraft (above), but does not appear in the list of release cars.
Grumman
But the largest number of downed enemies among all allied aircraft (in total, not individually) is on the account of a carrier-based fighter Grumman F6F Hellcat, created by a former test pilot Leeroy Grumman. Founded by him in 1929, the company did a lot for the development of American carrier-based aviation, subsequently developing such well-known machines as A-6 Intruder and F-14 Tomcat(just on this fighter Tom Cruise flew in the movie Top Gun).
Over time, the company switched to aerospace development and it was she who created the landing module. "Apollo", which US astronauts first landed on the moon in 1969. Today it is part of the Northrop Grumman corporation, which is engaged in the creation of ballistic missiles, satellites, radars and, of course, aviation equipment for the US Army and NASA.
What models will be available at the launch of World of Warplanes: F2F, F3F, F4F
Messerschmitt
The most famous and massive German fighter Bf.109, a steel car with a predatory profile that terrified the whole of Europe, was created in 1934 by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aviation Plant), hence the name. In 1938 the company was renamed to Messerschmitt by the name of the chief designer Wilhem Messerschmitt(his company merged with BF in 1927) and since then it has become the main supplier of combat vehicles for the Luftwaffe, including the first mass-produced Me jet fighters. 160 and Me. 262.
After the war, the company produced microcars, since Germany was forbidden to create aircraft, then made fighter jets for NATO under foreign licenses, and from the end of the 60s went from hand to hand in a series of mergers and acquisitions. As a result, in 1989, the name Messerschmitt finally disappeared from circulation: the company became part of the DaimlerChrysler Aerospace holding, which later, after another merger, became the European Aerospace Defense Concern (EADS). Sounds like the name of an evil corporation from Metal Gear Solid, but its most famous product is the Airbus passenger jet.
What models will be available at the launch of World of Warplanes:
Bf.110B, Bf.110E, Bf.109Z, Bf.109C, Bf.109E, Bf.109G, Me. 209 Me. 262 Me. 262 HG III, Me. 109TL, Me. 410 Me. 609, Me. P.1099B, Me. P.1102,
Junkers
Biography Hugo Junkers similar to the story of a Bond villain: a talented professor of thermodynamics founded his business back in 1895 and was originally engaged in the production of heating appliances, and in 1911 became the world leader in the number of registered patents. Just at that time, he became interested in the growing aviation industry and by the end of the First World War he had already established the production of fighters and even managed to work with the famous designer Anton Fokker. They did not agree on the characters: as you know, one mad scientist is enough for a good plot.
By the end of the 30s, Junkers himself was gone, but the company under his name became one of the largest manufacturers of transport and combat aircraft in the world. Including - the famous dive bomber Ju 87, he is also Stuka, he is also a "lappet", who, when entering the target, emitted a characteristic frightening howl. After the war, the company continued to manufacture aircraft and was engaged in aerospace research with the involvement of brilliant scientists, but in the late 60s it was absorbed by Messerschmitt and ceased to exist independently.
What models will be available at the launch of World of Warplanes: Unfortunately, there will be no Stuka in the game at launch - the branch of German attack aircraft will appear later.
