 ICM Il'ya Muromets
Igor Sikorsky, no less an over-achiever, designed the Il'ya Muromets aeroplane, a massive World War One bomber, the largest four-engined aeroplane in the world, able to carry a significant bomb load and to engage in long distance reconnaissance missions.
The name "Il'ya Muromets" refers to a class of aeroplane (Woodman, Airfix Magazine, May 1985, p.352) of which the 'Veh' was one type; that which the ICM most resembles.
The "Il'ya Muromets" aeroplane itself became a legend, and its design and achievements are a true landmark in aviation history.
