A beautiful beautiful place. The Li-2 is a multi-purpose aircraft and was used during the Second World War not only as a transport aircraft, but also as a bomber. I know this because it was on this plane that my grandfather fought. This is an aircraft from the regiment of Valentina Grizodubova, who commanded the 101st Long-range Aviation Regiment from March 1942 to October 1943.
