AIRCRAFT PLANT "CHKALOV" 84
TASHKENT, USSR
The Tashkent Aircraft Plant "Chkalov" 84 is engaged in producing
transport-type aircraft. This factory was initially constructed in Moscow
in 193.4 and moved to Tashkent in 1941 where it was installed in two main
locations which are designated Airframe Plant A and Assembly Plant B
in the Bombing Encylopedia. Plant A, located in the north-central part
of the city, probably manufactures component parts and minor assemblies,
which are transported to Plant :B, 2.8 miles distant, in the southeast part
of the city.
Associated with the Assembly Plant B is an airfield approximately
3.500 by 5500 feet in over-all dimensions, with a 4700 by 230 foot concrete
runway. Located on this field and in the plant area are 18 aircraft, con
sisting of. seven.completedCrates', four.Cj-ate6..6ithdr incomplete or under
repair, five Cabs, one Hound, and one glider. One probable assembly
building is under construction at this plant.
Each plant is surrounded by a security fence or wall, which in the case
of Plant B also surrounds the airfield. In this case the scale and resolution
of the photography preclude recognition of any airframe components,
handling equipment, or missiles or missile mock-ups which might be
present in either of the plant areas or on the airfield.
