First transpolar Flight.

Russia Post released a stamp to commemorate 75 years of first transpolar flight on 6th July 2012. The stamp depicts the ANT-25-1 and a map of the route.


On June 20, 1937, a Soviet-built ANT-25 monoplane landed at Vancouver's Pearson Air Field, completing the first airplane flight from the Soviet Union to the United States across the North Pole.
