One of the most numerous and famous aircraft in world aviation history was the Polikarpov U-2. It was designed as a basic training aircraft. The maiden flight was in June 1927. Since the early 1930s, the U-2 has become the real “flying deck” for thousands of Soviet pilots.

During WWII, U-2 got the weapon. These planes, named U-2VS, were successfully used as light-night bombers (in particular with female crews). In 1944, after N.N. Polikarpov death, the plane was renamed Po-2.
