Soviet Aircraft Identification.

1 Attachment(s)

I had completely forgotten about this photograph, and now with time to be able to start cataloguing and filing some of my photographs, I am hoping that someone can help identify the aircraft type?

All help will be gratefully received, and many thanks in advance.

Regards Richard.

Re: Soviet Aircraft Identification.

More pedantically, just SB. The Western habit of calling it the SB-2 probably (my guess) came from the Russian use of SB-2M100 identifying the engines. Whether this example is an SB-2M100 or an SB-2M105 is impossible to tell from this photo, but probably an early example from the gun position.
