Poèma o kryl’jah poster.

Movie (1979)
Russian title: Поэма о крыльях
English title: Poem of Wings

Starring:
Vladislav Strzhelchik (A. Tupolev)
Yuri Yakovlev (I. Sikorsky)
Nikolai Annenkov (N. Zhukovsky)
Ada Rogovtseva (Yulia N. Tupolev)

During an Airshow in Paris, Igor Sikorsky and Andreï Tupolev meet together. Both are pionneers of industry aviation and Russians but their fates could be opposites as the first emigrated to America when the second worked only for the Soviets. But they have had the same goal : the conquest of the sky.
Please note that aircraft listed below are put in a loosely chronological order, not following the movie appearance. Tupolev and Sikorsky are both dead in 1972, not after 1979.

A replica (now on display at the Monino Air Force Museum) is used to act several of the first design of Igor Sikorsky. They are :

Sikorsky S-35

This two then three engine aircraft was the plane intended for a North Atlantic flight trial during summer 1926. (New-York - Paris band on the sides). The real plane -with a very different shape- crashed in flames at take off, killing two of the four crew members.
