== Biography ==
=== Early years ===
Taitz was born in [Warsaw](/source/Warsaw), [Russian Empire](/source/Russian_Empire).<ref name="TfamilyS"/> In 1915, the Taitz family escaped from the [war](/source/World_War_I) to [Moscow](/source/Moscow), where he and his younger brother studied at the Sokolov-Korobov private [gymnasium](/source/Gymnasium_(school)) (later Soviet secondary school No. 81). After leaving the gymnasium, he entered [Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School](/source/Bauman_Moscow_State_Technical_University). While he was a student, Taitz worked as a proofreader and a binder for a number of Moscow publishers. Closer to graduation, he worked as an aviation technician for the [Soviet Air Force](/source/Soviet_Air_Force) Research Institute (NII VVS) and began flight training in [Sevastopol](/source/Sevastopol). In 1925, Taitz married [Moscow State University](/source/Moscow_State_University) student Iraida Zeest, who later became an archaeologist. Upon graduation from the [Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School](/source/Bauman_Moscow_State_Technical_University) in 1929, he was assigned to work for the [Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI)](/source/TsAGI).<ref name="ShefLap1995"/>

=== Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) ===
Taitz started work as a flight test engineer in the flight test section of the [TsAGI](/source/Central_Aerohydrodynamic_Institute) under the supervision of Alexander Chesalov and Vsevolod Vedrov.<ref name="ShefLap1995" /> His first job was flight testing of the [TB-5](/source/Grigorovich_TB-5) heavy bomber with [Mikhail Gromov](/source/Mikhail_Gromov_(military)) as a lead test pilot.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/><ref name="AiK2013">{{cite journal |author=Михаил Маслов |url=https://military.wikireading.ru/56751 |title=Тяжелый бомбардировщик ТБ-5 |trans-title=[TB-5](/source/Grigorovich_TB-5) heavy bomber |type= |journal=Авиация и космонавтика вчера, сегодня, завтра  |location=[Москва](/source/Moscow)  |date=November 2013 |publisher=Издательство "Техинформ" |issue=11  |language=RU  }}</ref>

[[File:Tupolev, ANT-25.jpg|thumb|left|[ANT-25](/source/Tupolev_ANT-25) in [San Jacinto](/source/San_Jacinto%2C_California) after the new [non-stop flight distance record](/source/Flight_distance_record) of {{convert|10148|km|mi|sp=us}} from [Moscow](/source/Moscow) to [United States](/source/United_States) via the [North Pole](/source/North_Pole) (July 1937)]]

From 1934 to 1937, Taitz participated in a technical commission for engineering support of [non-stop flight distance record flights](/source/Flight_distance_record) of [Valery Chkalov](/source/Valery_Chkalov) and [Mikhail Gromov](/source/Mikhail_Gromov_(military)) in the [Tupolev ANT-25](/source/Tupolev_ANT-25) long-haul aeroplane and upon successful completion was awarded his first [Order of Red Banner of Labour](/source/Order_of_Red_Banner_of_Labour) (1937). He was one of the authors of the comprehensive "Aircraft designer reference book" published by TsAGI in 1937.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/> He was also involved in engineering support of [Sigizmund Levanevsky](/source/Sigizmund_Levanevsky)'s record flights from Moscow over the [North Pole](/source/North_Pole) to the US.<ref name="ZhVesty2014"/><ref name="Amir_LI_SA">{{cite book |last=Амирьянц |first=Георгий |date=2001 |title=Летчики-испытатели.

After the arrest of his elder brother David Taitz in the [Great Purge](/source/Great_Purge) in 1938, Taitz left [TsAGI](/source/TsAGI) and worked as engineer-editor for the State Scientific Library of the [NKTP](/source/Ministry_of_Transport_Machine-Building_Industry), editing the aviation department of the ''News of Technical Literature'' journal. In 1939, he got a chance to obtain the position of Dean of Theoretical Mechanics Department at the Soviet Union Industrial Academy but in 1940, a delegation from TsAGI visited him and requested his return to the institute to head a group of researchers.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/>

=== Flight Research Institute ===
Together with [Alexander Chesalov](/source/Alexander_Chesalov) and [Vsevolod Vedrov](/source/Vsevolod_Vedrov), and with the support of [Mikhail Gromov](/source/Mikhail_Gromov_(military)) and Ivan Petrov, Taitz arranged the establishment of the [Institute of Flight Research](/source/Gromov_Flight_Research_Institute) (8 March 1941).<ref name="Amir_LI_SA"/> In the new institute Taitz held the Chief of Laboratory No. 2 position and also acted as the institute Deputy Chief for science.<ref name="ZhVesty2014"/><ref name="AGNTs2018">{{Cite news|url=https://agnc.ru/news/10448|title=Вековой юбилей легенды летных исследований|trans-title=Centennial jubilee of the legend of flight research|publisher=Ассоциация государственных научных центров РФ|date=2018-01-09|language=RU |access-date=2018-01-27}}</ref> During the [Great Patriotic War (World War II)](/source/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)), Taitz headed the evacuation of the science core of the institute to [Novosibirsk](/source/Novosibirsk), and supervised flight and ground testing of the serial production fighter aeroplanes to eliminate defects in the flight qualities and war-fighting capabilities of the aircraft.<ref name="ZhVesty2014"/> At the same time he took the lead in developing the second volume of the ''Aircraft Designers Handbook'' (RDK) devoted to [flight test](/source/flight_test) techniques and published by TsAGI in 1944.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/><ref name="ZhVesty2014"/> The same year Taitz was assigned to head a Soviet technical group for the evaluation of the [Peenemünde test site](/source/Peenem%C3%BCnde_Army_Research_Center) where the German [V-1](/source/V-1_flying_bomb) and [V-2](/source/V-2_rocket) missiles were tested.<ref name="ZhVesty2014"/>

[[File:P2280218.JPG|thumb|Cruise missile [KS-1](/source/KS-1_Komet) under the wing of [Tu-16 bomber](/source/Tupolev_Tu-16)]]

From 1945 to 1947, together with Alexander Chesalov, Taitz initiated the development of [testbed aeroplanes](/source/Testbed_aircraft) based on the [Tu-2 bomber](/source/Tupolev_Tu-2) for flight testing of the jet engines. Concurrently he developed the [theory of similarity](/source/Mathematical_model) for aviation turbojet engine testing.<ref name="Amir_LI_SA"/><ref name="LII1993"/> Taitz organised and supervised the flight research and testing of the first Soviet jet fighters [MiG-9](/source/MiG-9), [MiG-15](/source/MiG-15), [MiG-19](/source/MiG-19) and [Su-9](/source/Su-9), for which he was awarded the [Stalin Prize](/source/State_Stalin_Prize) in 1949.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/><ref name="ZhVesty2014"/>

At the end of 1940s during a second wave of [antisemitism](/source/Stalin_and_antisemitism), Taitz and many others were fired from the [institute](/source/GFRI). Later, in conjunction with new research projects in unmanned aircraft and missiles, and the establishment in 1952 of a new dedicated division, he was asked to return to the institute.<ref name="ZhVesty2014"/> After his return, he played a major role in the development and flight tests of Soviet cruise missiles the [KS-1](/source/KS-1_Komet) and others, and their automatic control systems.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/><ref name="Amir_LI_SA"/> In 1956, chief of the institute Nikolai Stroev, insisted Taitz be assigned his deputy, although a number of high-level officials of the aviation industry were against that due to Taitz's Jewish ethnicity, his reluctance to be a [Communist Party](/source/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union) member and his repressed or emigrated relatives.<ref name="ShefLap1995"/>

In the late 1960s, Taitz initiated the development of the USSR civil aircraft certification system and was a strong supporter of joining the USSR to the [Chicago convention](/source/Chicago_convention) and [ICAO](/source/ICAO).<ref name="ZhVestiMironov2016">{{cite news |author =Анатолий Смирнов |url= https://www.aviationunion.ru/Files/3_Un_08042016.pdf |title=Съезд должен заняться поиском решений сегодняшних трудностей |trans-title=The Congress must look for solutions to today's difficulties |type=weekly |edition=Жуковские Вести  |location=[Zhukovsky](/source/Zhukovsky%2C_Moscow_Oblast)  |date=March 2016 |volume= 9 |publisher=Редакция газеты "Жуковские вести" |number=1271|pages =6 }}</ref> [Gromov Flight Research Institute](/source/Gromov_Flight_Research_Institute) became a leading research organisation in the USSR in flight testing and certification of aircraft and Taitz was a driving force behind that.
