Book 28
This new book in the popular Polish Wings series tells the story of three famous Russian bombers and trainers in the Polish Air Force during World War II and post-war.
The Tu-2 was a twin-engine Soviet high-speed daylight and frontline bomber aircraft of World War II vintage. The UTB-2 was derivative of the Tu-2, used as a trainer; the elimination of combat equipment meant it was much lighter and this allowed the use of less powerful engines. The Shche-2 was a twin-engined utility aircraft manufactured in the Soviet Union to meet an urgent requirement for a light transport and liaison aircraft during World War II.
