Women - Heroes of the Soviet Union
For the first time, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded to women by an 2 decree of November 1938. Valentina Grizodubova Pilots, Polina Osipenko and Marina Raskova were awarded for the non-stop flight from Moscow to the Far East on the Rodina plane.
In the morning of September 24, the well-known in the country pilots Valentina Grizodubova, Polina Osipenko and Marina Raskova flew on a non-stop flight from Moscow to the Far East on a twin-engine Rodina plane. From the first hours of the flight, the plane entered the battle against the elements: after takeoff, the car entered the clouds, on the approach to Novosibirsk, the plane started icing, and at the height of 1938 meters, the beginning of bumping forced the plane to rise even higher, to 6500 meters. The crew had to work in oxygen masks and in a hard frost.
For the Krasnoyarsk radio station "Motherland" was silent. According to the flight schedule above Lake Baikal, it was necessary to change the course in order to reach the Trans-Siberian Railway. But, not seeing the terrain and not hearing radio beacons, the aircraft crew ventured to cross the Chinese border. The commander makes a decision - just go! Clouds spread only over the Sea of Okhotsk in the area of the Shantar Islands. Next, "Homeland" followed to the south, to the nearest airfield in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In 10 hours Moscow time, 25 September showed Amgun River’s lakeside, and then a red light flashed on the dashboard - the fuel was running out, and taiga in the break of the clouds. Soon the motors began to stall. The plane had to land, able to sit in a swamp. He was in the air 26 hours 29 minutes. The search route for pilots was determined by the latest direction finding Raskova, taken by the Chita radio station.
Immediately, a rescue operation began, more than 50 aircraft were mobilized, hundreds of foot troops, trackers on horses and deer, fishermen on boats and boats were mobilized. The X-NUMX aircraft of October was found by the crew of the P-3 reconnaissance biplane, headed by Commander M. Sakharov. October 5 around 6 o'clock in the morning a detachment of rescuers and pilots, leaving the plane before the frost in the swamp, moved to the Amgun River, through the village of Kerb to Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and then to Khabarovsk. From Khabarovsk to Moscow followed a special train, twined with flowers, to the thunder of orchestras. Valentina Grizodubova, Polina Osipenko and Marina Raskova, 11 of November 2, were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the award of the Order of Lenin for the accomplishment of this flight and the courage and heroism shown at the same time.
Unfortunately, two of them soon died in plane crashes. Polina Osipenko - in a year, and Marina Raskova in 1943, during the flight to the front at the head of the world's first female aviation regiment formed by her. During the war years, Valentina Grizodubova commanded the 101 long-range air command. 16 January 1986 was the only female hero of the Soviet Union who was also awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor.
