EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the remarkable trio of Order-bearers Captain Polina Osipenko, Deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Valentina Grizodubova, and Senior Lieutenant Marina Raskova moments before embarking on their historic flight. This iconic image captures the spirit of determination and courage that defined these trailblazing women. On September 24,1938, aboard a Tupolev DB2/Ant37 aircraft named Rodina, they embarked on an extraordinary journey from Moscow to Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Siberia. Their mission was not only to conquer distance but also societal norms as they aimed to set a world record for non-stop direct flight by women. With unwavering focus and expertise in their respective roles as co-pilot and commander (Osipenko), navigator (Grizodubova), and senior lieutenant (Raskova), these pioneers soared through the skies for an astonishing 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles). Their achievement shattered gender barriers in aviation history. This photograph serves as a testament to their indomitable spirits and unyielding dedication. It symbolizes the triumph of bravery over adversity during a time when opportunities for women were limited. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it marked a milestone not just for these exceptional individuals but also for all aspiring female aviators who dared to dream beyond conventional boundaries. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate the audacity exhibited by Captain Polina Osipenko, Deputy Valentina Grizodubova, and Senior Lieutenant Marina Raskova – true heroes whose legacy continues to inspire generations worldwide.
