Description
The Polikarov fighter was produced from 1934-43. It saw service with several countries. This is a close up of the cokpit side door. It was amazing to see the pilot wriggle into the cramped cockpit. When the airplane started, it let out a belch of blue smoke and coughed to a roar. The big radial motor was a treat to hear. This Rata is located at the Heritage Flying Museum on Paine field in Everett, Wa.
