Aviation
In 1941 the State Aviation Plant No. 1 was moved from Moscow to the city now known as Samara, Russia, near the Volga River. The plant, named Dooks, had been created in 1917, using facilities in Moscow which had previously been used for the manufacture of bicycles, motorcycles, and various other vehicles. Before World War II the plant had manufactured several airplane models at the Moscow location, including the MiG-3. During the war the plant manufactured Ilyushin Il-2 and Il-10 aircraft. In 1946 it began production of MiG-9 and MiG-15 jet fighters, and in 1954 it started to produce Tupolev Tu-16 bombers.
Rocketry
On 2 January 1958 the Soviet government ordered State Aviation Plant No. 1 to begin production of R-7 Semyorka rockets.
