History:
Petr Nesterov or complete name Pyotr Nikolayevich Nesterov was a Russian pilot, an aircraft technical designer and an aerobatics pioneer. Born on February 15, 1887. Died on September 8, 1914 (aged 27). In May 1913 he became leader of a relay in Kiev, completing night flights at that time. He believed an aircraft could fly a loop, a feat not previously performed. Despite the doubts of his peers, Nesterov proved his theory on 9 September 1913 (27 August by the calendar then used in Russia) and became the first pilot to fly a loop.
