That bottom one is a soviet aircraft. Not made by an Italian company.

There's certainly no finesse to the design but it certainly has presence. I rather like it.

A Bv 222 captured by the British at the end of World War 2. White paint is an attempt at arctic camouflage.

The first two shots are from inside the Bv 222's wing - as with many big aircraft of the day, engineers made provisions for the engines to be serviceable while in flight. The firewall opens to give engine access. The wing pontoons were retractable. The cargo deck of the Viking.

This plane makes an appearance every year at the Moosehead Lake Flyin. I believe it is the only DC-3 on floats currently flying.
