Title: DC-2? Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 24, 2011, 03:50:27 PM Hi,
look at the twin engined plane. http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=161017&start=30 (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=161017&start=30) Is this a DC-2 or DC-3, in your idea? It doesn't seem a Li-2. Regards Massimo Title: Re: DC-2?

The landing light is located in the wing, whereas the DC-2 had two in the nose, and the cowling shape may be slightly different. Next contestant? ;) Merry Christmas, Massimo! John Title: Re: DC-2?

I think you're right. The rudder is different from that of DC-2, and I have three further photos of DC-3 in similar livery. Merry Christmas to you too Massimo :) Title: Re: DC-2?

What is similar to DC 2 are 9 cylinder Wright Cyclone (or their Russian copy) engines (as Li-2). Such livery was in Khalkin-go war. The landing lamps in wings are not specific - the late DC2, so called DC 2 K has already landing lamps in wings.
