Hey Marconi, I have a question about the aircraft museum in Kiev, if you can answer for me. Is there a separate museum for WWII aircraft? The "National Aircraft Museum" just seems to have the cold war aircraft.

| There's an aircraft museum in kiev?  Made some digging and it looks like this museum is fairly new,no wonder I haven't heard of it before.Have you visited it or found some info on the Internet?
Regarding your question - no there is no museum of WW2 aircraft here, in best case there is something about WW2 aircraft in the museum of history of Great Patriotic War, not much though. | |

The museum is almost all from 1950's - 1990's, there is only 1 Yak-3 and a Yak-18 from postwar. I have also been to the military museum too. Too bad, I would have likes to see some more examples: Mig-3, LaGG-3, La-7, Pe-2, Il-2, Su-2, Tu-2, Il-4, SB-2. I would have though they could at least got some of those types? I think the USSR made more than a few of those...

So, if you really want to see something intresting you'll have to go to Moscow. In this case Central Air Force Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Kubinka museum is also a must see Kubinka Tank Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . | |
