    • 1934 May, Harrison Forman, “Following the West”, in Aviation[1], volume 33, number 5, McGraw-Hill, page 149:
      It is hoped to extend the Shanghai-Urumchi line to Tchukuchak, on the Russian border, then to Semipalatinsk, to connect with Soviet airlines; and thus give a service of Shanghai to Berlin in six days—or four days, if any night flying is done.
