I am not sure if I should post a separate reply but I think it would be clearer.
Great there is a separate board but woul it be possible to have some storage area for photos and drawings? Finally something technical. The main difference between Soviet and Western aircraft was that they largely consisted of wood. Wood allows to make very aerodynamic shapes but it takes volume and weight to achieve same endurance. That was the main reason the world moved to metal designs and still continues the way.
