Rare to find information on Tu-2 pilots plus a very good quality photo of a pilot with his aircraft.
It would be nice to find out what unit he flew with.

Hi, this is not a real Tu-2, but a training plane inspired to Tu-2. It had a similar canopy and overall look, but it's smaller. I can't remember its name.

Besides, correct surname spelling would be Melnikov - "a is a female (with rare exceptions) ending

I don't speak Russian.

Thank you for pointing that out.
