The 1930s saw explosive growth in air travel. Passenger numbers grew astronomically over the decade, from 6,000 passengers in 1930 to more than 450,000 by 1934 to 1.2 million by 1938. Still, though, air travel was out of reach to many, with flights costing as much as $20,000 when adjusted for inflation.
This photo of a TWA flight from 1936 shows that there was plenty of legroom during a flight, although very little overhead baggage storage. Dress codes were also a thing, with proper attire required when boarding.

⚡️ June 2, 1944 - deportation of Crimean Armenians.

On this day, 80 years ago, Joseph Stalin signed the decree of the State Defense Committee “On the eviction of Bulgarians, Greeks and Armenians from the territory of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.”

According to a memo to Ivan Serov, as of June 4, 1944, for the Evpatoria and Dzhankoy “opersectors” subject to eviction:
•Armenians - 2,837 people.
•Bulgarians - 2,740 people.
•Greeks - 2,131 people.

People were accused of being unreliable without evidence or reason, simply because they were on their own land during the German occupation.

The Cosmonaut who was stuck in space for 311 days, 1991

Sergei Krikalev was a Soviet cosmonaut who was stuck in space onboard a Soviet space station called "The Mir". Krikalev is a veteran cosmonaut, who spent a total of 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes in total in outer space.

On December 26th 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed while Krikalev was still in Space. Due to the political complications that occured during the dissolution of the USSR, Krikalev spent 311 days in space. Eventually, he returned to Earth on March 25th, 1992. Due to him being away from Earth's gravity for so long, as well as time dilation, he is 0.02 seconds older than people born at the same time as him. He is commonly referred to as "The Last Soviet Citizen". He has been retired since 2007.
