Ivanov's landing: pilot error at the Gatchina Military Flying School

By Jack Brummet, Travel Ed.

Flying cadets, circa 1914, at the Gatchina Military Flying School near Petrograd, point fingers at student pilot “Ivanov" after the crash landing in which he "injured only his dignity." This image is from the collection of Alexander Riaboff (1895-1984) who served in the Russian Army Air Service and trained at Gatchina. Riaboff is one of the cadets pointing fingers at Ivanov.
