Great light bomber. I've been particularly interested in the considerable use in the photo-reconnaissance role, taking much valuable information about german troop deployments and important static targets - Berlin included. The soviets seemed to be very attentive to this task, having several regiments with up to 49 aircraft each dedicated to this often dangerous mission.
Ten years ago, a Pe-2 was found in the Bzura River, 9 kilometres from my home. Many elements have been preserved
@Peshka Yes, the corpse was inside.
The bodies were buried at the cemetery of Soviet soldiers
Thanks for putting all this stuff online really good
