Maria Raskova was known by some as Russia's Amelia Earhart. It was her celebrity and persuasion that led to the creation of three, all-female night bomber regiments late in 1941. These regiments would fly tens of thousands of missions against Nazi Germany. #aviation #history #WW2

Nikolai Polikarpov was one of the most successful aircraft designers in the early 20th century. His designs, including the Po-2 were key to the Soviet war effort even though he was the victim of purges of the 1930s and only rehabilitated after his death. #aviation #history #WW2

The Polikarpov Po-2 is unlike any military aircraft in history. It managed to defeat the most advanced fighters and confounded radar. It also flew some of the most decorated units...of female bomber pilots...in World War II! #aviation #WW2 #history

"History of the Armenians" is the earliest known account of early Armenia, written in the 5th century by Movses Khorenatsi and much of it drawn from oral history of the region. The picture is from a 14th century manuscript and Armenian and English text are available below. #history #Armenia

Hayk is a mythological founder of the Armenian people. His exploits, recorded by the 5th century Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi, are key parts of Armenian identity. In fact, Khorenatsi's life is as intriguing as the history he wrote about. #history #Armenia #Hayk

Argishti I of the Kingdom of Urartu reigned from 786 BC - 764 BC. He expanded the conquests of his father, Menua, and spread agricultural innovations. In 782 BC he founded the present day city of Armenia, Yerevan, upon completion of Erebuni fortress. #Armenia #Yerevan #history

The capital of Armenia, Yerevan, is one of the oldest cities on Earth. The Fortress of Erebuni, built by the kingdom of Urartu, is a spectacular ancient site and Urartu, while not well-known, had an impact on history much greater than it's size. #history #Armenia #Yerevan #Urartu
