Title: 57th Guards IAP. I-16. Post by: barneybolac on March 30, 2015, 01:55:33 AM Never seen an I-16 with the arrows painted on the sides like this partial photo of a 57th Guards I-16.
Any photos or models showing this aircraft I am coming up blank on this.

Or, could it be a defect of the photo?

Regards Massimo The Spitfires this unit used right after the I-16 the arrows were painted in yellow. I think it may be the same on the I-16. |
