989 FLIGHT,28 December 1961 OLEG ANTONOV Man of Many Parts THE TEXT accompanying these newly received pictures reads: "Oleg Antonov, one of the Soviet Union's famous aircraft designers, is also a well- known public figure, athlete, architect, painter and critic. He is now 55 years of age, but when you see him going upstairs three at a time, playing tennis, piloting a glider, or at the wheel of a racing car, you realize that when Antonov des- cribes his design team as ' young from top to bottom ' he is quite justified in including himself." The pictures show: (1) Three An-24 turboprop feederliners, two of them with revised nacelles and ventral fins. (2) Mr Antonov with a member of his family at home—relaxing in aircraft-type chairs. (3) Designing—but what? (4) Watching an air test. (5) An An-12 (centre) glimpsed dis- tantly with two twin-engined freighters (An-8s?). (6) An An-14 seven-passenger StOL aircraft.
