Re: Crash Photo Id

Come on, Researcher111, this must be a joke! This plane has never been French, or British, this was a soviet plane for sure. DC-3, C-47, Li-2 or PS-84, you name it, - it was the same two engine transport/bomber plane either Lend Lease, or Soviet built. (In this case I think soviet built for 2 reasons: missing yellow AAF serial on tail whicj was usually kept in soviet service, plus the door on the side.)

The Name/designation in this case is completely irrelevant. This plane had at least a million different names, based on service, country, year, etc.

Soviet Li-2s also had well known "zebra" camouflage too. What you think to be the French or British insigna was only the last digit of the typical 3 digit marking (see attached example) plus the 'zebra' camo. Bottom of red star is also clearly visible in original picture. I waste no more words on this plane and photo.
