07/12/2003. Remarks by Chris Pinn: "Tupolev ANT-6A aircraft also known as ANT-6/M-34R of the Polar Research Fleet in 1937. The letters 'ANT' stood for the name of the designer Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev. His company is still designing and building aircraft today. These aircraft were painted in orange with blue highlights to make them easier to be spotted if they were forced to land. The skids could be removed and replaced by wheels which were carried slung under the fuselage. The legend on the nose reads as 'Aviaarktika' in English and was the name of the Independant Arctic Directorate of Aeroflot."
