Title: An unknown detail of the Il-2 construction Post by: righidan on April 29, 2020, 06:26:32 PM Dear friends,
I have received from Russia some photos and drawings of an unknown detail of the Il-2 construction. (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49832270208_b9f31dc154_b.jpg) (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49832270163_52ca5d594d_z.jpg) (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49832270063_974ee1288c_z.jpg) It is a fairing for the tail wheel, and from “archeological” findings it can be associated both with the one-seat and two-seat versions.
