Polikarpov I-16 Soviet Fighter - New Acquisition ???
I recently made a trip to the old CAF Museum in Midland, Texas to check out an airplane they had up for sale - a mid 1930's Polikarpov I-16 Soviet fighter - that I might consider purchasing.
The I-16 was the last of Nikolai Polikarpov's fighter designs to enter production. An aircraft of revolutionary design, the I-16 was the first monoplane fighter with an enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear to enter front line service anywhere in the world. It's operational status introduced a new standard to fighter design.
Come along and see how the visit went . . . and if I added to my collection!
