Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik , Okt. 1942 near Stalingrad...
Note: this is one of the first Series, not the later Two-Seater Il2M3.
Between 31.000 and 36000 build, around 24.200 lost. 1941-1945. It was a deadly aircraft and in german it was "Der schwarze Tod", "The "Black Death". As the new Il-10 was coming out, she never replaced complete the old Shturmovik...
The inscription "Смерть фашистских оккупантов" in English "Death to the fascist occupants"...
After the WWII the Il-2 was the aircraft, that was first replaced in the soviet Air Force, but the concept is still alive with the Sukhoi Su 25 and the Fairchild A-10.
