TU-2
« on: January 19, 2009, 10:40:34 PM »
As excitement for this bomber is building check out this slice of history.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLs2qeDuuC8

I cant speak Russian but thats a pretty cool historical video on what was a very important aircraft. Its a little dry, like a training video. But it does offer some great shots of the airplane. Notice the rough welds and lack of finesse in construction. Like most Soviet war planes of the era they were simply designed to work. I havnt found a whole lot of video material on the TU-2 and if anyone has any more I'd like to know. :salute

A little more from a Russian sight. Mucho good stuff to investigate.http://www.wio.ru/index.htm

Go talk to Comrad Joe.  The Russians did it with regularity.  ALARMING regularity for the paratroops.  I have some vid somewhere of this.
