Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik, 4+

ILYUSHIN IL-2 SHTURMOVIK: Il-2 Type 3, Il-2 Type 3M, Il-2KR, Uil-2.

Among the most legendary Soviet combat aircraft of the Great Patriotic War was the Ilyushin OKB Il-2 Shturmovik, the world's first specifically designed ground attack aircraft. The Il-2 was a highly successful combat aircraft despite both the heavy losses it suffered at the hands of the Luftwaffe and its many technical shortcomings.

This publication deals with the later Type 3 variant, fitted with a swept-back wing, and its derivatives, including the Il-2KR spotter aircraft and the UIl-2 two-seat trainer.
