Russian test pilot (1909-1943)
Grigory Yakovlevich Bakhchivandzhi was a Soviet fighter pilot and early jet test pilot. In 1942 he flew the first powered takeoff of a Soviet rocket plane, the BI-1, but he died in the line of duty testing the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-3 variant the next year. He was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union in 1973 for his test pilot work.
