Tupolev ANT-25

As the Soviet Union emerged into the modern world, it took notice of the publicity gained by record-setting events, especially in aviation. When it was discovered that the existing distance record, then held by France, could be easily beaten, the Tupolev Design Bureau was asked to develop a record-setting aircraft. The resulting ANT-25, designed by Pavel Sukhoi (who later would create his own successful design bureau), went on to set many distance records including a nonstop 62-hour and 17-minute over-the-pole flight from Moscow to Vancouver, Washington in July 1937. Several ANT-25s were completed, including some dedicated military versions produced with the BOK name.
