He invited the main engineer, comrade Ivanov, to his office in Kremlin and ordered him to have the plane ready in two months. “But according to our secret service, it would take 1 year for Americans to build such a plane!” replied the engineer. For this Stalin said: “I can’t understand comrade Ivanov, are you an American?”. It has been said that after that the plane was built in time, after two months.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/14894850-B8EA-4192-AD79-6D9EC355A02A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
