Winged stories. Close-ups - Sashko Dermansky, Antonov SE [KSIĄŻKA]

What do airplanes dream about and how do they learn? Can they make friends and are they afraid of new things? Winged Stories was created in cooperation with Antonov JSC, where the world-famous Mriya and Ruslan airplanes were designed. I have big plans for you, said the Designer to the airplane, who was worried about being different from the others. This is how the story of the incredible adventures of the AN-2 airplane began, which, thanks to its special wing design, could take off and land even where there were no prepared airfields. To extinguish forest fires? Land on the water? To take pictures and film? What else did the restless Designer come up with for the bold airplane? For five years now, the giant Antey has been flying only in a dream. But one day he woke up to find mechanics scurrying around him, conducting an inspection. What does this mean? Is he going to return to the sky soon? The Chief Designer has an important task for the experienced Antey: to transport an extremely important cargo to Africa.
