A very interesting spotted Po-2. Do I see 'Aeroflot' inscription on the nose(?)... from: German e-bay

One can read CCCP-? on the fuselage, covered by dots. Probably it was on the wings too.

An early-war Rata wreck this time. The lightness of the upper color is interesting... from: German e-bay

Ye, it is strangely light. The division between upper and lower surface, lighter, is briefly visible behind the wing fillet. No visible marks. Is it loaded on a truck?

I'm gonna go ahead and suppose that they tried to hoist the tail onto the flatbed, and then move the I-16 on its main landing gear as a 'trailer' of sort. The very fact that we see the wrecks of both suggests that they did not succeed (on time) Regards, Aleksandar

The very fact that we see the wrecks of both suggests that they did not succeed (on time) Hi all, There are quite many photos of this I-16 tip 29 tail number 23 on a Gaz AA or AAA in a ditch. Green looking light may be affected by film type, possible filter, paper type... Cheers, AaCee

Hi, thank you for the information. Type 29 tail n.23... Do other photos show the green as quite light as this one? Regards Massimo

Hi Massimo, I found the same photo I was referring from your I-16 tip 29 page a bit below the middle of the page: http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/i16/type29/type29.htmComparing it and some others of the same wreck looks in my eyes as "normal" darkness of green colour for an I-16 built during 1940. The truck cabin is likely 4BO if it is original vehicle delivered to the Red Army? Cheers, AaCee

Hi AaCee, I agree, the plane looks normally painted in green and light blue. The most particular thing is the underlined number on the tail. Regards Massimo

Very nice-looking SB. I think to see a small red star on the rudder under the 17. I wonder if the camouflage could be light brown, black and green.
