Lisunov Li-2 - Chinese version of the Douglas DC-3


Changzhi, China (CN)
The Lisunov Li-2, originally designated PS-84 (NATO reporting name Cab), was a license-built version of the Douglas DC-3, produced by the GAZ-84 works near Moscow, and subsequently at GAZ-34 in Tashkent. The project was directed by aeronautical engineer Boris Pavlovich Lisunov. An original Li-2 can be identified by the 4-bladed VISh-21 propellers, although many later Li-2s were equipped with three-bladed props. Unlike the C-47 development of the DC-3, military versions of the Li-2 also had bomb racks and a dorsal turret.
