| #4 That's an LI-2, which was their DC-3 knockoff. They built over 2000 and, of course, never paid Douglas a dime. What I'd like to see would be a TU-4, which was their knockoff of the B-29. Almost an exact copy. |

| #3 Lend lease. Also the Soviets had a prewar license to manufacture DC-3s. You can see them in a lot of the the FSU war memorials. |
