Re: Il-2 Sturmovnik

Yes, this was probably IL-2 No.1876469

(The 64th plane of the 69th batch from Factory No.18., a two seater version = 7) where 6469 was the "real" serial number of the plane. Painting on the factory info while the plane was still standing in the factory would have been senseless ;-))))) Many soviet regiments used only this "short version" in their papers (only the batch and the plane ID) of the IL-2 serial numbers without the "factory part".

Cheers,
Gabor
