## Synopsis

In the early morning of December 15, 1938, Chkalov arrived at the Khodynka airfield – a new I-180 fighter was to be tested for takeoff. In the flight task it was written - to go one lap and return to the airfield. But Valery Chkalov decided to go on the second lap, and the engine stalled ...Chkalov tried hard to start the engine, but it was useless. There is only one way out – to plan for the airfield and go to the landing. Until the last second, he tried to save the plane... There are many versions about Chkalov's death, but none of them clarifies the situation to the end. The life and death of Chkalov is the story of an unusual pilot who always tried to act contrary to the rules and orders, to go beyond the limits of the possible. Such was the character.
