Title: Hungarian Il-2 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 14, 2013, 01:16:08 PM Hi, I would find documents on an Il-2 captured by Hungarians.
I've found a profile here http://wp.scn.ru/ru/ww2/a/264/13/0/1 (http://wp.scn.ru/ru/ww2/a/264/13/0/1) and a photo on the Squadron monograph that is unclear because of the foliage camouflaging it, but it seems a singleseater converted into twoseater. Does anyone know if there are other photos or documents on this plane? Regards Massimo Title: Re: Hungarian Il-2 Post by: barneybolac on June 19, 2013, 06:13:34 AM Best I can get you.

That's the one Massimo and I have. I do notice something new, though - this appears to have the reinforcing struts on the rear fuselage. I hadn't noticed that before. Interestinger and interestinger.

however it's a bit cleaner than my scan. Thak you for sharing it. Now I think it's not a converted twoseater, but an usual singleseater with the rear panel removed and vegetation to make some confusion. A part of the wire aerial is visible in front of the tail, and so the vertical thing is necessarily the radio mast. I wonder if the repainting was completed so, with only partial markings and camo, or it was later completed with full Hungarian tri-color tail and axis yellow bands to prevent friendly fire, that looks more likely.

I've received a photo of the just captured plane and I've added it to the page:https://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/il-2/il2-camo/germans/germans.html Title: Re: Hungarian Il-2 Post by: righidan on December 19, 2023, 11:35:56 PM Dear Massimo,
Thank you for sharing such an interesting photo. It is wonderful, but new unknown wartime photos continue to appear. Cheers Daniele Title: Re: Hungarian Il-2 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 21, 2023, 05:44:43 AM Thank you Daniele.
