Default Re: new discoverys

nice icon of Kawasaki Ka 87 really great aircraft. That also remainds me about Soviet Beriev MBR-2




Main maritime flying boat of Soviet Union. Which before WW2 was declared obsolete but from lack of any better aircraft take part in war on North Sea, Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific. After WW2 all were send to North Korea where was in use until 1952 used to maritime patrol and in night bombing raids on Americans troops on ground. The were practically stealth for radars in interceptors thanks to their wooden construction.

Whole story of this flying boat
