Red Army soldiers with war trophies during Operation Barbarossa, 1941.

Operation Barbarossa

The newest I 16 presented at the International Aviation Saloon of Milan in 1935. Curiously the fighter is presented as "fast trainer aircraft". Note that the original landing gear was replaced by a fake, probably to hide some industrial secret or engineering solution. At the time the I 16 was a newest aircraft. DVX
