WW2 Russian IL-2 Shturmovik Combat Loss Relic Tail Wheel Hub.
Heres another interesting and very rare WW2 crash relic. This item is a tail wheel hub from a Russian WW2 Red Air Guard IL-2 Shturmovik ground attack aircraft which was shot down by an FW190D-9 while it was strafing a German Luftwaffe airfield sometime in 1944. I have the data but dont have it to hand at the moment. Im not sure what the fate of the two man crew would have been but its very likely if they had survived the crash they would have been shot by the Germans. This was part of a consignment of wreckage brought back to the UK by a leading aviation historian some years back. Its a cracking item! Regards, Tim.
