The last and most perfect in N. N. Polikarpov design bureau biplane fighter family was the I-153. It had a gull-shaped upper wing, a retractable chassis and a more powerful armament with four ShKAS machine guns. Serial planes had M-62 radial engines; the late series had a more powerful M-63.

The maiden flight was in August 1938. All in all, in 1939–1941, there were 3437 planes. In summer 1941, I-153 “Chaika” (the “Gull”) was the basis of Soviet Fighter Aviation with I-16 fighters. I-153s were used in combat until mid-1943.
