This great aircraft designer did not receive worldwide recognition during his lifetime, although he left a noticeable mark on the history of aircraft construction, and now he is increasingly called “the secret inspirer of the Soviet space program” and even “Korolev’s teacher.” His fate is tragic and mysterious - it is not for nothing that ROBERTO BARTINI became the prototype of Bulgakov's Woland from The Master and Margarita. His long-range Arctic reconnaissance aircraft DAR was a generation ahead of its time, the Stal-6 was the fastest fighter of the early 1930s, and the Er-2 long-range bomber, created on the basis of the super-fast Stal-7, bombed Berlin in the summer of 1941 . However, Bartini himself at that time was serving time in the Gulag under the political Article 58. Why was the Italian communist aristocrat, who emigrated to the USSR (since then, in all questionnaires in the “nationality” column, Bartini wrote “Russian”) and became one of the leaders of the Soviet aviation industry, was condemned as a “fascist spy”? Whose fault was it that he served his full term (although other repressed aircraft designers were released from the “sharashkas” after successful projects) and was actually in disgrace until the end of his life? Why was one of the greatest innovators of Soviet aviation, the creator of the first ekranoplanes, a “headache” for his superiors? And how, despite all the obstacles, he managed to keep his youthful vow, “devoting his whole life to making red planes fly faster than black ones” (these words are inscribed on the grave of R.L. Bartini).



The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.

Неймовірна історія великого авіаконструктора!

Книга "Великий Бартіні" - це справжнє відкриття для тих, хто цікавиться історією авіації та космічними технологіями. Автор детально розкриває трагічну долю Роберто Бартіні, який, незважаючи на свій геніальний внесок у літакобудування, залишився в тіні. Його життя - це історія про боротьбу, відданість своїй справі та незламний дух. Читання цієї книги занурює в атмосферу радянської епохи, показуючи, як політичні репресії можуть знищити таланти. Особливо вражає, як Бартіні, будучи в ГУЛАГу, продовжував мріяти про літаки, які літатимуть швидше за чорних. Книга написана живою мовою, і, незважаючи на деякі недоліки перекладу, вона передає емоції та глибину переживань героя. Рекомендую цю книгу всім, хто хоче дізнатися більше про невідомі сторінки історії авіації та про людей, які стояли за великими досягненнями!
