Hi PG Monster, this photo is very beautiful. I wonder how the plane was painted. One can see that the number and the star under the wings are painted in glossy color, while the background color under the wing is matt. I think that it is painted as a night bomber. Probably the upper surfaces were black and green, the lower wing surfaces black, while a medium color looks under the fuselage and the cowlings were silver or grey or blue. Regards Massimo

Very interesting photograph. Were it not for the red stars, I would think that this were a civilian DB-3.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason, my first impression was that it was similar to 'moksva', all red. At a second look, I changed my mind. I've seen some photos of Il-4 that seemed all black, but probably were camouflaged on their upper side. Regards Massimo

Massimo, the ADD was created by decree of the GKO (State Defence Committee) on 5 March 1942. It was officially dissolved on 6 December 1944 when it was incorporated into the VVS as the 18th Air Army.

Jason

Hi Jason, so it is compatible with that type of marks without white outline. Regards Massimo

About the arrow at fuselage, there was the order of 5 SAK: http://wio.ru/simbols/sak5.htm"815 АП - в голубой цвет с красной окантовкой" light-blue color with red outline.

Hi, yes, it is interesting. My impression is that it is not a P, but a big 7 overposed to a smaller 1, probably of different colors that are not distinguishable on the bw photo. Regards Massimo
