Very nice! :speak_cool:

 

Looks like a flying target with all that roundels on :wicked:

Maybe the Russians used so many roundels to compensate that they had so little aircraft? :whistle:

When WWI started, they had one of the larger AFs of any of the belligerents--263 aircraft, second only to the French.   They pioneered a number of new designs, including the first deployed 4 engine bomber (no, the Germans did not do that).

 

Their Achilles' heel was lack of an industrial base to make their own engines--hence all the export aircraft they used.

 

Sorry, did my PhD on this... :innocent:

 

Cheers,
