8 aircraft in the encyclopedia
The Soviet Air Force produced the most-built military aircraft in history, the Il-2 Shturmovik, and developed a generation of light, agile fighters perfectly suited to the low-altitude Eastern Front. Soviet aviation was rebuilt almost from scratch after catastrophic 1941 losses.
