This looks to be a Russian Tupolev ANT-25, a type which which made long distance flights from the USSR to the USA in 1937....the most famous one was by Chkalov landing at Vancouver, Washington state, but this looks more like the flight 3 weeks later by Gromov, Yumashev and Danilin. This jourmey, via the North Pole, covered 11,500 kilometres (7,100 mi) and ended in a dairy pasture outside of San Jacinto, California after they had encountered fog conditions in San Diego and as far inland as March Air Force base in Riverside. The landing site is marked by California State Historical Landmark Number 989. The crew flew for 62 hours and 17 minutes between 12 and 14 July 1937. After landing, the aircraft still had sufficient fuel for approximately 1,500 kilometres (930 mi), enough to reach Panama..
