Remember the PO-2 Swingman released a couple months ago? Here is a story about someone who flew them in WW2. Some of the best pilots come from the darndest places.

the 'Night Witches' as anyone familiar with the Eastern Front or Il-2 Schturmovik from 1c Maddox would know...its quite a story.
the Russian women flew fighters too, many were aces...

Swingmas has also posted a ski version of his Po-2. You can find it at Flightsim site.
I'm leaving for some days of vacations ( Praha-Kbely Air Museum :jump: ) . When back
will ask Swingman the permission to make some new liveries.
