Title: Seeking GPW-era Tu-2 photos for magazine article Post by: Chappie on March 18, 2014, 09:57:36 PM Good day everyone,
My first post here. I'm an author/photographer for Warbird Digest magazine currently working on an article about the Tupolev Tu-2. This will be the first article I've done on a Soviet aircraft and I have found very little information on the Tu-2 combat operations. At this time I'm looking for good quality (i.e. high-res scans) wartime photos of the Tu-2 and its crews that I would be permitted to publish in a magazine. I'd also like to find a couple photos of Andrei Tupolev himself. Although I would not need it for the current article I'd like to hear suggestions on books that document Tu-2 combat ops during the GPW. I currently have only names of battles, but no specifics on units, crews, bases, etc. Lastly, I hope Mr Korytov and Chirkin see this because I'd like to know if they have ever met and interview any Tu-2 combat veterans. I always like to include first hand accounts in my articles. Thanks very much.

I don't know if Messrs' Korytov and Chirkin have any interviews with Tu-2 veterans, but I know Mr. Korytov was very gracious when I asked him about using an interview with an Il-2 mechanic (I'm writing a book on the history of the Il-2). I'm afraid that my area of "expertise" is on the Shturmovik, but I'm sure someone will be along who knows about the Tu-2.
