Little is known about Bashorat Mirbobayeva (1916-2010). He became a star after an article in the magazine "Ogonyok" ("Alanga"). Photo news was published in 1951. In the picture, Bashorat, wearing a professional typist's uniform, is smiling. Behind it are two railway cars.
Bashorat Mirbobayeva was born in Verny (now Almaty). It is not known how she moved to Uzbekistan, but she started working as a machinist in 1937 and was the first woman to do so in Uzbekistan. His mentor was the Soviet pilot Abdusamat Taymetov (https://uz.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdusamat_Toymetov).
