My Dad served in Alaska during the war (he drove a mail truck along the AlCan Highway for APO 985). From what he said, I doubt that a Soviet pilot would have had the time for a romance. Russian pilots evidently had orders to get home as fast as they could; Dad saw a few P-39s crash on take-off, and heard from American ground crew that their pilots sometimes ignored instructions to warm up the engines in cold weather. /snip/ There is still wreckage of what I think was a P-39 along side the Anchorage-Fairbanks highway. It's located near Cantwell, about half-way, just a few hundred yards east of the road. This is at the highest elevation of the highway, I imagine some pilot was trying to sneak his way through the pass, and didn't make it. Not much left but the half melted hulk of an engine, and what looks like wing center-section structure. Happy Flying! Scott Skylane |

AlSib Route--USAAF mechanics and Soviet Pilot
Thanks, Bill!
Very interesting. It would be cool to see such a fleet of Cobras, and have a photocamera in hands, of cource. :-) I can just imagine the conversation: Moravetz: "Man it's cold!" Postovsky: "It's *really* cold!" Kiyan: "You Americans, always joking!" --Bill Thompson |

Just minute ago checked the web. Here what I found. http://www.ctb.ru/en/newfilms.jsp Description in English. DVD should have English. Where to buy - on Internet I could not find who's selling legal DVDs, only pirated MPEG4, which is not worthy to buy. If someone wants, can find it in inet, but it will be only Russian audio. We have to wait a bit, movie is very new - from July. One more fact against pirated MPEG4s - according to inet rumor, they miss last 20 minutes of the film. Rumour started by the capitalist movie makers. Ha. Originally film is 140 minutes. I hope to get DVD myself and can inform if it really has English language or subs. Are these films available with English subtitles? Also, where would one buy these?

Thanks for checking that out Stas! I will wait for the results of your research. By the way, the name of the Alaskan city is Fairbanks.
