Was it a technological marvel that nearly succeeded, or the product of espionage, as some claim? Was it a great research project, or a waste of resources? There are a lot of questions and perhaps some misunderstandings about the Tupolev 144, or “Concordski” to its critics.

But perhaps the thing that most people remember it for, was a tragic, fatal crash that happened at the 1973 Paris Air Show, almost exactly fifty years ago today.

Stay tuned.
