No "L" in the name.  Just "I-16-x" where x is the version number.

It uses an older naming scheme from before the Soviets listed the design group in the aircraft names.

I believe Polikarpov ended up with "Po" on aircraft from after the change.

Just claim you forgot to use the British version of the spell checker.  That one throws all manner of letters into words. :)  Seem to really like the letter "u".

May want to check some of your founding fathers documents a lot of the letter U used in words back then. ;)
