Talk:Aleksandr Bereznyak

"the world first" fallometry
The first soviet jet (Germans - 1939, British - 1941, hence - the 3-rd in the world, AFAIK?) BI-1 (2nd built) first flown on 15 May 1942 by Grigori Yakovlevich Bakhchivandzhi with jet engine turned on. --jno 09:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Bereznyak worked to death?
Is there any info when Bereznyak retired, if he actually did so? The original article (Before my grammatical corrections) stated that he was the chief designer 'Since 1957', which cannot be possible if he died in 1974.

So, does anyone know? Sneakspawn (talk) 00:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * He was only 62 when he died. But in any case the "big name" engineers tended to retain some kind of title in their organisation until they dropped dead, regardless of how much input they were having on day-to-day operations - for instance Lev Lyulyev was chief designer at OKB-8 (Novator/Lyulyev) until he died at the age of 77.
