Nikolai Kamanin belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Nikolai Kamanin as Soviet aviator and military commander (1908-1982).
Nikolai Kamanin was born at Melenki in 1908. His recorded nationality is the Russian Empire. He was educated at Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia and Egorievsk Civil Aviation Technical College.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Nikolai Kamanin is described as aircraft pilot, writer and politician.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Soviet Union, Gold Star medal and Order of Lenin.
That the work was done from the Russian Empire matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1982, at 74. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
