| John Goldsmith, e-mail, 27.04.2013 19:07 The book "Russia's Shortcut To Fame - a 50 year hoax exposed" by Robert J Morrison, provides convincing evidence that the ANT-25 was in reality a lightly modified (French) Dewoitine Trait d'Union D33, and that the supposed record flight to the USA was a con, flown from an island off Alaska while radio transmissions pretended to trace progress over the pole. He is adamant that the aircraft fuel tanks were far too small to achieve the record flight. reply | | Bob Barnett, e-mail, 11.06.2011 17:36 In 1937 the aircraft landed at Pearson Air Parkin Vancouver, Washington USA (across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. reply | | Richard L. Holmes, e-mail, 08.09.2007 03:46 I have a photography (and negative) of the ANT-25 my mother took in 1937 when the plane landed near Hemet, Calif., near March AFB. The photo was taken with a Kodak Box Camera.
