Re: First license-built Soviet plane?
Thanks, I have one book of Mikhail Maslov. He is quite good in technical matters, although the combat history details are not his strongest point.
The main question of this thread is probably which started first - the license-building of I-15 in Spain or the manufacturing of Czech built SB=VB 71? These to my knowledge are the first two Soviet/Russian designed planes built in abroad. Both started in 1937 - Spanish I-15 on July 1937, VB 71 earlier or later?
Or maybe there is some Soviet or Russian designed plane license-built abroad earlier than 1937?
