guys, and what's that 2nd acft on right? a Ju 87???

Archangel · 12-20-2004, 09:28 AM

its not the length of the fuselage you can tell its an IL10, but look at the length of the cockpit

this is an IL-10

heres the IL-2
c, the IL 10 has a shorter cockpit, the early version of the IL10 had the lack of a rear gunner, thats why the cockpit is shorter.
many of them were shot down because of this

the later version had a reinstalled rear gunner position.

the other plane isnt a stuka (look at the left wheel) but i cant tell what plane it is :/

definatley not a stuka..................

cheddar cheese · 12-20-2004, 02:02 PM

Hs-126?

Yeah you're right it is an IL-10!

Archangel · 12-20-2004, 03:36 PM

look at the weels, they are bolted to the side of the plane (u know like a piper club) so i dont think its a fighter, at least not a standard one

.
so yes it could be a Hs-126 i completely agree with you!

but still, i find it hard to c any wings, but the fuselage shape is exact the same.

cheddar cheese · 12-20-2004, 03:40 PM

I only know its a -126 because Der Mensch said it was

Der Mensch · 12-22-2004, 10:35 AM

The smaller plane is an Hs 126

Nonskimmer · 12-22-2004, 11:11 AM

So Der Mensch, is/was your grandad German? I'm just curious, because you mentioned the photo was from his personal album.

Der Mensch · 12-22-2004, 02:24 PM

My grandfather was German as am I, well i'm German-Canadian. Grandfather was a Feldwebel in Russia.

cheddar cheese · 12-22-2004, 03:03 PM

Interesting

Nonskimmer · 12-22-2004, 06:32 PM

Yes, very interesting.

Archangel · 12-23-2004, 02:23 AM

but if its an il-10, the pic has to be older that 1943, were russia and germany still no enemy's then?

cheddar cheese · 12-23-2004, 05:53 AM

*Later than 1943.

Der Mensch · 12-23-2004, 10:33 AM

I cannot be a 10 because Grandfather was only in Russia 41-september 42. By 43 he was already fighting in Africa.... So it must be a different version..

plan_D · 12-23-2004, 10:38 AM

Couldn't have spent a long time in Africa then. Did he go to Sicily after Africa?
