Former Aeroflot Engineer
Aviation Writer preserving the heritage of Russian Aviation
A  resident of Yakutsk since 1961, Negenblya was a Chief of Engineering, Aviation Service, and Senior Teacher at the Training Center of Yakutsk Civil Aviation Administration (Aeroflot).  A serious illness partially paralyzed him where he could no longer perform his duties at Aeroflot.  However, that didn't stop Ivan from pursuing his other passion -- writing about the history of aviation in Northern Russia.  His essays and articles on than theme, and some devoted to Aeroflot problems, are published in newspapers and magazines.  In Yakutsk, in 1990, Negenblya published his first book of essays, "The Formula of the Lift Power". 

When Everett made his historic flight in the same year, the two writers developed the concept of  Cobras Over The Tundra.  Everett's second trip to Yakutsk, a week after the famous coup, was devoted to writing this book.

Ivan has since written nine books, all on the subject of aviation in Russia.
