Ok its called in M-62 and is rated at between 775hp and 1000hp. It was used in other planes Such as the Polikarpov I-16 and R-10 Recon Plane.

The twin-engined one is reminiscent of the Beriev MDR-5, but it ain't it. Could it be the plane that beat the MDR-5 in production, the Chyetverikov MDR-6? I don't have a picture of this plane, just some info (not much!)

Picture of the Chetverikov MDR-6.

I don't think they are they same. This one has me stumped for the moment, I have one more resource to try. I LOVE NOT KNOWING!

Those three tails and inline engines ring some bells. I know I've got something on it, probably in Technical Gen in a 1950's RAF Flying Revue magazine in the bottom of a trunk somewheres.

Might the top one be a Pe-2 prototype, or is it experimental late war?
