Atmospheric scene in a storage area that looks more like an abandoned battlefield. Over 6,000 of this development of the Il-2 were built, with China importing 254 between 1950 and 1952 and used by assault aviation divisions of PLAAF, including combat during conflict with Taiwan over border islands in January 1955. The last Il-10s were not retired until 1972. Behind is a Nanchang CJ-5 (Yak-18) and three Y-5s (An-2) This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
