Abstract
Based on previously unpublished sources from the State Archive of the Magadan Region, the article examines the personnel of air transport in the north-east of the USSR from the Dalstroy aviation group to the divisions of the Magadan Civil Aviation Administration, formed in this case by graduates of aviation educational institutions in Irkutsk. Despite the fact that the period of their work in the North and their professional path have developed differently, it is fair to say that they have all made a significant contribution to the development of aviation in the most remote region of our country.
