It is also no surprise that children grow up in the elite, more or less different from the conditions in which children grow ordinary people.

Letter cadet school Kachin Timur Frunze adoptive father - the deputy. Chairman of People's Commissars of the USSR, the chairman of the Defense Committee at SNK Marshal Voroshilov:
Hello, dear Voroshilov! Perhaps surprised that I suddenly a frequent letters. Unfortunately, this time I want to talk to you about the case very still important to me. In short, there is a possibility that the release of our draw it is now just a few months, of course, we are not smiling. But here's the thing - the school does not gasoline. For us it is very important, and so I try to tell everything in order.

You see, our stay in the camp, and so valuable that everything has been done to facilitate the flight personnel training. I have already said that we will provide an excellent free airfields, while at Kutch Squadron idle for weeks waiting for their turn to departure. (After all, the number of students in the school this year increased almost twice). Thus, lёtnuyu program you can go to the camp for a month, the school would have to take place 2-3 months.

We now return to the main.

Last time we were days when half the camp was forced to dig ditches instead of flying. There was a shortage of gasoline. Time wasted, while the deadline for the collection of the camp became closer. After all, the camp is given at our disposal only on June 1. And then we will have to cede it to other squadrons.

And finally, on 24 flights in the school have been terminated. No gasoline! Of course, we have built different assumptions that could cause the Kachin school sit gasoline, blamed almost international situation, etc.
