The Polikarpov R-Z  - Russia
By Salem

The Polikarpov R-Z first served in the Spanish Civil War and also used against Finland.
The Polikarpov R-Z was armed with eight under-wing bombs.
It's engines made a rather curious noise which led them to be called "sewing machines" by the Germans.
This reconnaissance bomber which was in service since the 1930's was relegated to night operations in 1941.
