Identification of Soviet Aircraft

[Der Mensch]

Hello Once more,

Another aircraft seems to have stumped me, This one, the light aircraft is a Hs 126, but the larger Russian one I have no idea what it is; could it be an Il-2? Sorry for the small picture, it is a scanned image from one of my grandfathers actual WWII albums.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah looks like an IL2 - I dont see what else it could be.

 

[Der Mensch]

I thought so too but its a little hard to see...

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Il-2, for sure...

 

[Nonskimmer]

Definitely looks like an IL-2. Couldn't begin to tell you the model, though.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

IL-2 for me............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Either that or its a Secret Soviet development

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

or something else we haven't thought of.........

 

[Nonskimmer]

...it is a scanned image from one of my grandfathers actual WWII albums.

Talk about slow! I only clued into this now!

Hey Der Mensch, was/is your grandfather German? I'm just curious, is all.

I think it's an Il2 M (late version) I'm sure I can see a gunners postion in the photo.

Some scanner software allows you to "Digitally crop" images. You can zoom into an area and enlarge it with a nice resolution. If you can, try that as larger images make it easier to identify. But I will agree with everyone else, it looks like an IL-2 to me also. That album sounds like a real treasure!

 

[Der Mensch]

The Album is a treasure I tried to enlarge it but that is a big as it is going to get without making it blurry.
Cheers,

Thats as close as I can get it whilst still retaining some degree of quality to it, definately has a gunner position.

Its an Il10, a development of the Il2. The shorter canopy is one clue, the smoother nose another.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Good eyes!
I can't tell any of that, from that picture.

 

[Pisis]

guys, and what's that 2nd acft on right? a Ju 87???

 

[Archangel]

its not the length of the fuselage you can tell its an IL10, but look at the length of the cockpit

this is an IL-10

heres the IL-2
c, the IL 10 has a shorter cockpit, the early version of the IL10 had the lack of a rear gunner, thats why the cockpit is shorter.
many of them were shot down because of this
the later version had a reinstalled rear gunner position.

the other plane isnt a stuka (look at the left wheel) but i cant tell what plane it is :/

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

definatley not a stuka..................

 

[cheddar cheese]

Hs-126?

Yeah you're right it is an IL-10!

 

[Archangel]

look at the weels, they are bolted to the side of the plane (u know like a piper club) so i dont think its a fighter, at least not a standard one .
so yes it could be a Hs-126 i completely agree with you!
but still, i find it hard to c any wings, but the fuselage shape is exact the same.
