Looks like Il-10.

Could be Il-2 too; hard to say.

Photo probably taken during the Korean War by what appears to be a North Korean star on the wing of that plane.

My guess by that would be an IL-10.

It is a Korean era (1950) photo, N Korean AC. I won't say just yet what the caption under the photo says this because I am not certain it is correct just yet.

I'm quite sure it is Il-2. If you look at Il-10 you'll see air intake in the wing-root in left side and plane ammo did post doesn't have one. It also looks like Il-10 in pic has a small fin under the tail thought I'm not sure if it depends about sub-model.

IL-10

the caption says its a Yak 3, but after studying it a little, me thinks its a IL-10

hey whats that cool monster in the background w/ the double props?

Thats a Soviet "Bear" bomber. I have forgotten the letter/number designation. I think its either the fastest, or almost the fastest prop plane in the world (~550knots). Its the Soviet equivalent to the B52.

What makes you think so? After all it doesn't have air intakes in wingroots like Il-10 have in the pic I did post.

i thought the XF84-H was the fastest prop plane...but of course it was never a real service plane

staga, the landing gear housings is what makes me think so.

Heh looks like my first guess was right

Anyway just to be sure. Whole landing gear system in those planes is different: in Il-2 they swung straight back like in DC-3 while in Il-10 wheels turn 90degrees and by doing so they fit inside the wing (Like in F-4u and P-36/P-40).
