very beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing. The plane is built in Zavod 1 in early 1942, as one can see from the unusual exhaust stacks. The rear fuselage is streghtened by fasteners. Interesting slogan and bolt on the fuselage. The rudder was replaced with the one of another plane. Number black 29. Seems that the white painting on the tail is a regimental mark. The whitish blotch on the fin could be winter camouflage. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Facebook photo. Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 11, 2017, 09:54:43 AM Hi all,
I showed the photo to Ruchkovsky and he pointed on a strange detail, unclear if it is a defect of the photo, a damage of the plane or some artwork. (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/images/lenin.jpg) I think that it is a negative portrait of Lenin made by chalk by German soldiers. It is positioned to receive the bolt in his front. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Facebook photo.

Perhaps it is a ghost pilot. Regards Massimo |
