JWM Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Hi, Searching for photos of ANT-4 from WWII times I bumped on this archive: https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/jsokoloff/album/211677/view/1059629 There are two takes of ANT-4/Tb-1 but there is a lot (in total 464!) of other interesting takes. Be careful - at least twice I've noticed mistakes in type description like Polikarpov I-5 described as I-152. One is rally puzzling to - destroyed hydroplane with red stars of British look...Described in cyrylic as Fairey (?) Radial engine looks like Bristol. It is near Riga, possible ex-Latvian https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/jsokoloff/album/211677/view/860348 Regards Jerzy-Wojtek P.S. Here is Gladiator https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/jsokoloff/album/211677/view/1006811 Edited April 22, 2018 by JWM added PS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went again through whole set of those photos and there are many mistakes in description of machine present on photos. The most often is description saying I-15 or f I-15 bis and on photo is I-5 or Gladiator (or rather remians of it)... Many takes of Yak 2, Yak 4 and Archangielskij Ar-2. I hope some of you will found this set really very intersting as I found it ... Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
