Hrm... I must have been thinking of a different plane, re: Pe-8.

Aper, great images. What book are you getting them from? I just started reading the Red Star series, translated to english, on Yakolev -- very interesting read for the aviation buff.

Heh, be careful with that one, it has some great typos-mis-translations. Like on Page 93, middle collumn 5th Para: The Yak-9T proved to be considerably more stable under different maneuvres compared to the Yak-9T..."

It's a good read though.

If so, could you post one (or all)?
