Biography
Accomplishments
In November 1936, Lisunov travelled to the Douglas Aircraft works in Santa Monica, California, to start the process of licenced production of the DC-3 in Soviet Union. From November 1936 to April 1939, Lisunov documented every part of the DC-3 and its production tooling. He also documented post-delivery in-service support.
After his return to Soviet Russia, Lisunov with Vladimir Myasischev, started the process of re-engineering the DC-3 with the objective of putting the DC-3 into production as a licenced derivative, some time later named Li-2.
