One of the most numerous and famous aircraft in world aviation history was the Polikarpov U-2. It was designed as a basic training aircraft. The maiden flight took place in June 1927. Since the early 1930s, U-2 became a real base for thousands of Soviet pilots.

During World War II, U-2 became the bomber. These aircraft, designated U-2VS, were successfully used as light night bombers (particularly with female crews). In 1944, according to N.N. After the death of Polikarpov, the aircraft was renamed Po-2.
