I’ve been aware of the Polikarov-po-2 since I read about the Soviet all women’s squadrons. Just had never seen one with an enclosed cockpit, hence the windsock comment on the drawing.

Interesting that in Korea we had a hard time nailing them with the PO-2’s max speed being lower than the F-86 stall speed.

Under some conditions very low tech has the advantage.

Some of those Po-2's are still flying.
