Polikarpov Po-2 Art

Po-2

 

Originally produced for training mission, this biplane was also called U-2. It earned its fame when it was used by an all-female group of pilots as a night bomber. This pilots were called "Night Witches" by the Germans since they only attack at night under in an unexpected fashion.

Po-2 or U-2 proved to fit these kind of missions very well. Its low speed made the aircraft hard to shoot as faster German fighter planes struggled to slow down to get an aim at them.

Enjoy this beautiful piece of Po-2...
