Polikarpov I-15s & I-16 take off

Wanaka, New Zealand

Russian fighters
Saw service in Spain in 1936 & 1937 in Manchuria
outclassed in 1940 against German fighters in Finland
6 Restored in New Zealand, 3 remain

Nikon,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM ,Fujicolor Superia 400
Feedback: PP to create late 1930s 135 analogue film look but soft enlarger lens give softer results on the noise & square format much more common than 35mm rangefinder cameras. 10 or 25 ASA film more usual so slower shutter speed and a wider lens would have been used. Hmmm!!! Wish I had a late 1920s Leica 1 sitting in my draw. full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
