Re: Soviet aicraft type to be identified
Interesting photo. I'm guessing Soviet - only because of the front windscreen/aiming-tube arrangement. Perhaps a Polikarpov I-17. Didn't the prototype crash, resulting in Polikarpov's fall from Stalin's favour, and the cancellation (or lack of interest) in the promising I-180/185 line of fighters?
