    I need to find the IL2 original designation, before it was called IL2. I want the designation that was given to the plane after the prototype TsKB-55 was aproved in the tests.
    Can anyone help ?

    Fla, reading Revista Asas...? ;)


    Your question's answer is....


    .... BSh-2 . :)
    BSh = Bronirovannyi Shturmovik.


    Well, that's what I said. Our friends from Russia can confirm or correct this answer. :)

    I sent mine in the same night (I think it was friday or saturday) I bought the magazine. I have an old issue of "Asas de Guerra" about the Il-2, so it was fairly easy to find the answer for the quiz. :) But I'm not sure if it is 100% correct... :confused: 90% maybe. :)


    :mafia: Shame on you flamingo, thrashing the forums... :p :D

    Sure. ;)

    The deal is:
    If I win the Il-2 "1", it is yours.
    If I win the Il-2:FB it is mine, I haven't bought it yet. :)

    But I don't think I won any of the first prizes.. magazines here arrive about 1 or 2 days late if compared to Capital.. :)

    Don't worry about the computer, I'm already saving some $$. Do you think I would leave current system as is? :D
