September 1941. 72nd AP VVS SF 6th squadron commander Antonenko in front of his plane (guess what's the type?)

Hi Oleg, :)
thank you for sharing these images.
Is the second plane a Pe-2?

1941 SF? Unlikely. Chassis construction is closer to Tupolev and Ilyushin design beuraus. Most likely - SB m-103 or Ar-2

Someone really should tell these pilots to get out of the way when taking photos of aircraft!   ;)

Hi, :)
it's a Pe-2. I've checked on photos. SB has single-led landing gear and double intake on each wing aside the engine. Besides, Ar-2 hasn't the air intake under the propeller.

Too bad so many otherwise excellent "Operation Barbarossa" photos include German soldiers blocking the view of important details of captured VVS aircraft! Very inconsiderate...  ;)

(Having said that, I think everyone involved was too busy just trying to stay alive to imagine or care about our humble interests, 60+ years later - I never wish for a "time machine", because I'd probably end up shot!)

Looks on radiator holes in the wings near engines.

that is the feature that says to me 'this is a Pe-2'
I do not know of any other aircraft with elliptical intakes for the oil coolers.
