#### Harbin and Aviation
(Part 1)

Aviation occupies a remarkably important place in the life of Harbin (China), not only as a means of transportation but also as a focal point for various industrial enterprises, scientific research institutions, and educational organizations. This has had a profound impact on the city’s development plans and strategies.


The birthplace of aviation in Harbin was an area near the former racecourse, located in the northern part of the city, at the beginning of the Belgorod Road. In 1910, 1914, and subsequent years, renowned pilots such as S. Zaikin, S. Utotchkin, and V. Dubovskiy, as well as the local resident S. G. Grizodubov – a prominent aircraft designer and pilot – conducted demonstration flights there in front of large audiences.
