This is CKB-60 also known as the Il-6

Thanks Wurger. Must learn more about that one. Looks like a somewhat modified Westland Whirlwind.

 

[Wurger]

That's true. The only thing that makes it quite similar to Il-2 is the windscreen.

School evacuation during the war.
In case of Japan, about 400,000 school children of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and some other large cities which were thought to be the future targets of the air raid were evacuated in the summer of 1944. They stayed in the rural until the war was over.
