Has everyone seen the History Channel presentation of "Stealing the
Superfortress" the story of how the soviets coped the B-29 and created the Tu-4?

If you are interested, the complete video has been posted on YouTube:

When I first saw the Lisunov Li2 at Krakow Aviation Museum I thought
that the USSR had done the same there, but it seems that it was a
commercially licence built version of the DC-4 from a 1941 agreement.

I think you meant to say "DC-3 or C-47". This is the DC-4.


Duh! Of course - my apologies!

A moment of mental aberration as it was, of course, the DC-3. Also it
seems that the licence was granted on 15 July 1936, rather than in 1941.

Maybe I'd better have an early night.
