Night Witches - Polikarpov Po-2 Flight

Kermit Weeks flies his Polikarpov Po-2 Soviet biplane on a beautiful afternoon. The plane, built primarily of wood, and fabric covered, was originally designed and built in the late 1920's as a training and light utility aircraft. In World War II they were used for liaison, light attack, nuisance reader and propaganda aircraft... complete with microphone and loudspeaker. The PO-2 is well known as a safe and reliable aircraft.
