re: #92 Shiplord Kirel

Fwiw, this is May Day, 1935. The big aircraft in the middle is the one and only Tupolev ANT-20 “Maxim Gorky,” which made its only May Day appearance in that year. It was destroyed in a mid-air collision on May 18, 1935, with the loss of 35 lives.
Then the world’s largest aircraft, the ANT-20 was designed, and used, purely as a propaganda machine.

I was doing a little reading after seeing the posts here on the aircraft. Freaking wingspan was almost 70 yards wide (60 meters)…108 feet long (33 meters). Yeah that was a lot to keep in the sky.
