According to the United Nations classification it is placed partly in the European continent. While much of its territory lies in Asia, most of its people reside in Europe.
Ethically and politically it does not belong to Europe, especially recent events have made this quite clear.
Hint: Russian.

Would have been my guess, too, but the Yer 2's stabilizers are rounded, while those in the picture are not.

Nope, not a Yermoleav. But a bomber it is.

two-man crew?

Catfish · 12-29-23, 12:32 PM

Yes, two men afaik

Aktungbby · 12-30-23, 12:48 PM

dive-bomber?

Catfish · 12-30-23, 01:06 PM

Afaik it was never actually used as a bomber, but intended as such. By construction it was not intended for dive-bombing. There was also the idea to use a version of it for low-strafing runs with MGs firing down and backwards, but nothing came of it.
It was an unusual plane, very advanced and maybe too much for the time.
Hint: They say there could have been two versions but any info speaks of one plane, changed and improved over time.

WELL, if you have a pilot and down and rear gunners then how is it a 2 man crew?!!

As I said nothing came by it.
The second person would aim and release the bombs, in the other proposed version he would have operated the guns.
