YER-2 ( bomber version ) did never carry 2 pilots , if you reffer to the transport version, by
the end of the war and beyond this is something I could agree with. Personally , I would like
to see a cockpit photo of the bomber matching your statements designed for two pilots
and eventually the Russian source of your info just in case you don't have one.

researcher111,
the uncle wife of yours served in a Yer-2 air regiment? what was regiment? Version with two pilots appeared during series production Yer-2 diesels from August-September ? 1944 - at the request of the pilots of ADD. It's came in new regiments with the numbers 3хх (for example to 328 AP DD 18 GAD DD). The second pilot sat on the right below in the housing, and place of the Navigator pushed forward. A little later (autumn 1944) was upgraded glazing of the cockpit is simplified and widened (for two).
