Question No.1 :
Lidiya "Lilya" Vladimirovna Litvyak, white Lily.
12 personal victories and 3 shared, all with a Yak-1. Killed at Stalingrad 1st August 1943, 22 years old.
No.2 :
Martin B26F Marauder
No.3 :
Hawker Typhoon MkIB
No.4 :
Dewoitine D.520
Captured french plane with german markings. Thought that would rule the first out, but nearly
no one got fooled.
No.5 :
Rolls-Royce Merlin
The engine isnŽt on fire btw, just normal ignition flames...
No.6 :
Focke-Wulf Ta 183 "Huckebein"
I thought this would be one of the toughest questions, but several got that right.
Indeed, this is a sovjet reproduction (ca 1947), based upon captured german blueprints and nearly completed prototypes, and led to the development of the Mig-15.
No propeller, but the design is from WorldWar II.
No.7 :
Mitsubishi Ki-51 Sonya
Tricky one. The Ki51 is a development of the Ki30, and the minimal differences between both
are not to spot on the photo, so i accept the
Mitsubishi Ki30 Ann as a correct answer too.
No.8 :
Fiat G.55B Centauro
Ok, i admit, this was mean.
Took a pic of a very rare 2-seated trainer. But some did recognize it though.
No.9 :
Ilyushin IL4
No.10 :
Marmaduke Thomas St. John "Pat" Pattle, Gloster Gladiator, Hawker Hurricane
