I-153 M-62

Description

I-153 M-62 - Soviet single-engine piston fighter designed by the Polikarpov Design Bureau. It was a further development of the I-15 and I-15bis family in particular, differing from the previous model in better aerodynamics: thus, the upper wing of the "gull" type was returned to the aircraft and retractable landing gear were added.
