NZFPM - Soviet Women Combat Pilots The Polikarpov PO-2 was a 1927 design, powered by a single 115 hp engine giving a top speed of 81 mph and a range of 280 miles but it made a significant impact on the German troops by maintaining a sustained air presence over the battle zone, continuously harassing the Germans. The PO-2 was highly manoeuvrable and the slow speeds made night interception by the fast German fighters a difficult undertaking. With Maj Marina Raskova as Commander and Maj Yevdokia Bershanskaya as 2nd in command women went through an intense training schedule - 2 years work into 6 months. www.nzfpm.co.nz /theatres/tow_tbfm.htm   (1539 words)

Po-2 Camouflage, Part 1 But, surely, there is no realistic contender to the title of "most colourful camouflage", for that spot is held tenaciously by the incredibly versatile Polikarpov U-2/Po-2 biplane. So many sobriquets have been applied to this machine that they might fill a catalogue of their own, but the most common--and I think endearing--of these was probably the kukuruznik, or 'corn stalk cutter'. Many aircraft of the Soviet VVS of the Great Patriotic War may claim to be colourful. vvs.hobbyvista.com /Markings/Po2/po2-part1.html   (1565 words)
