From Geo's Russian manual download in #42 above - anyone recognise it?

(Edit - possibly the DC-5 for the top left artist's drawing - but the silhouette is very different.)

I would say DC-5 though the landing gear is wrong

A bit off topic...
"Manual on the Technical Handling and Servicing of Mk-III "Valentine" Tank" - 1944. Publisher: State Publisher of the People's Commissariat of Defence
This is a Russian technical manual for the British Mk-III infantry tank. These tanks were supplied to the Soviet Union under lend-lease agreement. I was unaware the British supplied the Russians with tanks.
