One of the most numerous and famous aircraft in world aviation history was the Polikarpov U-2. It was designed as a basic training aircraft. The maiden flight was in June 1927. Since the early 1930s, U-2s have become the real “flying deck” for thousands of Soviet pilots.During WWII, U-2s were successfully used, in particular, as liaison and ambulance aircraft. In 1944, after N.N. Polikarpov death, the plane was renamed Po-2.
