BluBear Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 This week, a single seat IL-2 has been recovered from a lake in Russia and is in remarkably good condition, owing mainly to the conditions on the lake bed and method in which it was put down by the pilot in 1943.

What great news! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
