| Two observations... 1) I feel sorry for the flight crew having to load their own 250kg bombs, that must have sucked right before a mission, and: 2) At about 5min what was with the pilot and the radio operator exchanging hand written messages via a pass-thru-bulkhead??? No intercom???

| Russian planes usualy didnīt have intercoms, only this system with tubes where one could sent mesages in paper. As far I know system did work well for sending small cicarettes to another crew member. System worked with air/vacuum so only small and light could be sent. |

Excellent! Never knew that a vacuum based system was installed in a WWII airplane. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just string the wire and amplifier (tubes are big, hot and suck up lots of power) or use the old navy version of just sound tubes. Seems overly complicated for the Russians and their austere designs.

| Excellent V2, very interesting. These few guys have done so much with quit nothing in extrem weather conditions. Pilot in the air, part time mechanics on the ground and flak gunners rest of this time ... total respect ! |
