Yefim Arzhanov

Yefim Vladimirovich Arzhanov was a navigator in the Soviet air force during World War III. He was assigned to Boris Gribkov's Tu-4 in June, 1951 to replace Leonid Tsederbaum. While Gribkov was initially concerned the Soviet government had given him a bad navigator, Arzhanov soon proved he knew what he was doing. He joined the crew in Soviet-held West Germany, and returned with them to Prague.
