Polikarpov Po-2
The Polikarpov U-2 or Po-2 served as a general-purpose Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik The reliable, uncomplicated and forgiving aircraft, powered by a 99 hp (74 kW) Shvetsov air-cooled radial engine, first flew in January 1928. Initially the Po-2 (it did not take this name until 1944) served as a trainer and crop-duster. It is the most produced aircraft built in the history of aviation.
Although entirely outclassed by contemporary aircraft, the Kukuruznik served extensively on the Eastern Front in World War II as a light ground attack and general supply aircraft. German Wehrmacht troops nicknamed the craft the Nahmaschine (sewing machine) for its rattling sound. Its low cost and easy maintenance led to a production run of over 40,000, and manufacturing of the model continued into the 1950s.
Douglas DC-3 - (Redirected from Li-2)
The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing, propeller-driven aircraft whose speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Because of its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II, it is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made.
Junkers Ju 52
The Junkers Ju 52 (nicknamed Tante Ju - "Auntie Ju" - and "Iron Annie") was a transport aircraft and bomber manufactured 1932 ? 1945 by Junkers. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, it flew with well over a dozen air carriers including Swissair and Lufthansa as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport, with a secondary role as a medium bomber. The Swiss Air Force also flew the Ju 52, with three machines remaining in operation until the early 1980s.
Focke-Wulf Fw 58

It was also used as VIP transport, ambulance, feeder airliner, photo-reconnasscince, and weather research aircraft. It was built under license in Bulgaria and Brazil.
