"In 1941 the second military school for pilots' primary training was given a land in the village of Kryukovo (now known as the Southern District of Moscow) with purpose to build a training airdrome. The whole construction included an airstrip for school airplanes O2 (U2), gasoline storage and a hangar. With the enemy approaching Moscow in October 1941 the air fighters regiment of Moscow Anti-Aircraft Defence were allocated here. During the days of severe battle for Moscow the crew consisting of commander Tikhomirov Yu.A., navigator Onchurov A.Ya., gunner-radioman Vorona P.A. heavily bombed a column of fascist tank forces. The crew later died in a plane crash while landing due to serious damage of the aircraft." www.Chertanovo.info.
