Airplanes World War II found in the Murmansk region. Like New

In the period from 1945 to the present day, throughout the land find parts of the very bloody war, war for human ideals. Dachnips find unexploded shells, grenades and mines in their garnates. Search troops, divers, fishermen and ordinary mushrooms find tanks and airplanes. Let's remember what was found and raised.

The P-39Q-15 aircraft "Aerocobra", serial number 44-2911 was found at the bottom of Lake Mart-Yavr (Murmansk region) in 2004. The fighter was seen by the fisherman, who said that he saw through the water, on the orst day, the outlines of the aircraft's tail. When the plane was raised from the bottom of the lake, it turned out that both cockpit doors were blocked, although usually, with a tight landing, one or both were discarded to give a pilot. Presumably the pilot could die immediately from the strongest shock of the aircraft about the bottom or from the flooding of the cab.

The remains found were buried with all the honors on Alea Glory in Murmansk.

Wing 12.7-mm machine guns on the plane have been dismantled. Fuselage weapons and 37 mm Motor-gun COLT-Browning M4 No refinement were subjected.

Also inside the cabin reserves of ammunition and stews were found. In a separate case, it was found, very blurred by water, a flight book and other documents.

The aircraft was built in 1939 and before hitting the Eastern Front, participated in the battle for France and in the Battle of Britain. 04 April 1942, the German AC fighter Wolf Dietrich Wilke, piloting this aircraft, was shot down and was forced to land at the frozen lake. Wilke escaped death. The plane remained almost unharmed after an almost ideal emergency landing until the dive itself on the bottom of the lake. There, he remained untouched for more than six decades, until finally was raised in 2003. Countless bullet holes located on the wings of the aircraft and on horizontal stabilizers, became one of the main reasons for the accident aircraft, but one large hole in the place of attachment of the right wing, perhaps, became the fact that the fighter would kill.

"Brewster F2A Buffalo" - "BW-372". The plane was found in Lake a great potassium market at a 15-meter depth in the wpadine in the middle of the lake. The underwater medium perfectly contributed to the preservation of the machine. The fighter has fallen at the bottom of the lake at the bottom of the lake, it slowed down the corrosion process, but it became an obstacle to the rise, complicating the separation from the bottom. His pilot, the Finnish fighter-speaker Lauri Peksi was shot down on June 25, 1942. During the battle with the pilots of 609 IAP in air combat over the Soviet airfield of Segezha in the Murmansk region. Peks have already shot down two russian aircraftBefore he was forced to plant his own. The pilot left the victim "Brewster" and got to his position.

F6F Hellcat failed in the morning of the fifth of January in last year wars. The Walter Elkok, who was sitting behind the steering wheel, during the training flight, did not cope with the control, and together with the plane fell into Michigan's ice water, but managed to float.

The only bomber "DORNIER DO-17", which has come down to this day, raised from the bottom of La Manha. The plane was shot down during the British battle in 1940. This is one of the one and a half thousand, fired by Germany, and the only one from those who survived today. Dorney DO-17 has allocated among the modern bombers with its high speed. It was originally designed as a quick reconnaissance aircraft, but in the mid-1930s, he was redesigned to the bomber. The plane tried to attack airfields in Essex. It was possible to restore the call sign raised aircraft - 5K-AR. The aircraft with these calls was shot down on August 26, 1940. The pilot and another crew member were captured and sent to camp for prisoners of war. Two other crew members died

Soviet attack aircraft IL-2 found fishermen. The plane lay relatively shallow. Apparently, the plane was badly damaged during the battle, he left under the water, broke into pieces. Fortunately, Marauders to the aircraft did not get - testimony to this preserved remains of the pilot: no one penetrated into the cabin.

Well preserved front and wing. On-board number The aircraft failed to find, however, the engine rooms and screws are preserved. On these numbers will try to set the name of the pilot.

B25 bomber raised from the bottom of Murray Lake in South Carolina.

This R-40 "Kittykhuk" fell in three hundred kilometers from civilization in three hundred kilometers from the desert. Sergeant Dennis Kopping took from fallen aircraft That is a little, which could come in handy, and went to the desert. From that day, nothing is known about Sergeant. Seventy years later, the plane was found almost untouched. Even machine guns and ammunition to them, and most devices in the cockpit survived. Sacks with passport data machines survived, and it makes it possible to restore the history of her service.

Fokke-Wulf FW-190 "Yellow-16" developed by the German aircraft engineer Kurt Tank, "Fokke-Wulf FW-190" Würger "(" scenter ")" was one of the most successful fighters of World War II. He was adopted in August 1941, he was popular among pilots, and some of the most selective Luftwaffe fighters were flying on it. During the war years, these aircraft produced more than 20,000 pieces. There are only 23 aircraft in full configuration, and all of them are in different collections around the world. This wonderfully preserved after the collapse of the FW-190 was removed from cold waters off the coast of the Norwegian Island Sot to the west of Bergen.

IN Murmansk region The Safonovo-1 village from the bottom of the lake Krivoy raised the IL-2 attack aircraft from the 46th Northern Fleet Air Force. The plane was discovered in December 2011 in the middle of the lake at a depth of 17-20 meters. November 25, 1943 due to damage received in air combat, IL-2 did not reach about three kilometers to his airfield and produced forced landing On the frozen lake Krivoy. Commander Junior Lieutenant Valentin Skopintsev and Aerial Arrows Red Flothets Vladimir Muzyena got out of the aircraft. After some time, I broke the ice, and the attack aircraft went under water to appear again on the surface after 68 years.

Lake Krivoy generally turned out to be rich for found planes. From the bottom of the lake, the Yak-1 aircraft was also raised from the 20th EAP of the Northern Fleet Air Force. On August 28, 1943, the fighter during the departure made a forced landing on the smooth of the lake and sank. Piloting the junior demide lieutenant. To date, there is only one Yak-1 in the world from more than 8,000 built cars. This is a fighter Yak-1B Hero of the Soviet Union Boris Eremin, who was transferred to the homeland of the pilot, in the local lore Museum of the city of Saratov. Thus, the Raised Yak-1 fighter will be the second in the world today.

The departure produced a pair of stroke machines, to the front line it was about 15 minutes of flight, crossing the front line on the Dvina River, the pair moved on to the east. In the area of \u200b\u200bVybokalo, the planes attacked the Soviet armored train. When attacking the machine was damaged by fire air defense, one of the hits was broken by the tank and the pilot was wounded. The pilot pulled to the latter to the database, but having lost a lot of blood, went on a forced landing. The plane landed in the country in the middle of the forest, after landing the pilot died.

The Aviation Museum in Krakow conducted an operation on raising from the bottom Baltic Sea Oblovekov american bomber Douglas A-20, sunken during World War II. For the museum, this exhibit is a real treasure, since only 12 such aircraft remained in the world.

B-24D "Liberator" lies on the island of atka at the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, where he committed emergency landing December 9, 1942. This plane is one of the eight surviving "liberators" performed by "D". He made a departure to hold a meteorification when rainy weather did not allow him to land on any of the nearby airfields.

Junkers JU-88. Spitsbergen. Early versions of the Junkers JU-88 Junkers Aircraft, which were admitted in 1939, transferred many technical improvements during their development. But as soon as they were eliminated, the twin-engine JU-88 became one of the most universal combat aircraft of the Second World War, speaking in various roles from the torpedo bomber and to a heavy intelligence fighter.

From the bottom of the Black Sea raised an IL-2 aircraft. Presumably, he was shot down in 1943, when cruel battles were walked for Novorossiysk. Now the historic find is delivered to Gelendzhik.

The German JU 52 aircraft was raised from the bottom of the sea by employees greek museum Air Force June 15, 2013 During the siege of the island of Leros in 1943, the plane was shot down by Zenitka off the coast of the island. Since then, he was at the bottom Aegean Sea For more than 60 years, when local divers, with the help of the Greek Air Force Museum, discovered it again.

The German military raised from the bottom of the Baltic Sea, the remains of the Nazi bomber JU 87 Stuka. On the this moment There are only two original copies of this military aircraft in the world, which are represented in London Museums and Chicago. Ju- 87 "Stuka" at the bottom of the Baltic Sea was discovered in the 1990s. However, the work on raising the aircraft started a lot later. According to experts, the plane has been preserved in good condition, despite the fact that he lay at the bottom of the sea for about 70 years.

The 70-year-old plane was lost in impassable forest wilds somewhere on the border of the Pskov, Novgorod and Leningrad regions. The search squad from Novgorod accidentally discovered it on the sushi patch surrounded by the marshes. Some miracle the plane completely survived, but neither his story, nor the model, nor the fate of the pilot have not yet been clarified. According to some signs, it is Yak-1. The car completely threw moss, and the search engines do not touch it yet, fearing damaging the rarity. It is known that the plane was not shot down, he just refused the engine.

Curtiss-Wright P-40E onboard "White 51" from the 20th Guards Fighter Aviamar. Pilot Junior Lieutenant A.V. Prensev. Sounded June 1, 1942. The pilot counted the landing on the lake. Found in 1997 at the bottom of the lake code to the west of Murmansk.

German fighter Messerschmitt BF109 G-2. Which made an emergency landing at sea near Norway Norway on March 24, 1943. Was raised in 2010 from a depth of 67 meters.

Henkel HE-115 raised from the bottom in Norway.

Half-fault "Flying Fortress" № 41-2446 laying out in the Swamp Agayimbo Australia since 1942, where his captain Frederick Fred Iton Jr. made a forced landing after his plane was damaged by enemy fighters over Rabalal in Eastern New Britain. Despite several bullets, broken plexiglas and curved screws, B-17E was almost no corrosion and 70 years after crashed into the ground.

This "Douglas SBD" Dauntless "(" Fine ")", a veteran of the Battle of Midway, was raised from the water of Lake Michigan in 1994. In June 1942, during the raid on the Japanese aircraft carriers to the west of the Midway Atoll, "Fineless" was permeated with 219 bullets and was one of the eight aircraft that returned to the base of 16 flew. The plane returned to the United States for repair, where he failed during the training flight to the aircraft carrier "Sabeleb.

Half-walked on an abandoned military airfield in the shade of a mighty volcano Mount Pagan, the skeletal cunning fighter of the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero fighter is the remains of one of two Japanese aircraft, victims on the western side of the Pagan Island, which is part of the Mariana Islands group.

Unfortunately, most of the aircraft found on the territory of Russia have long been sold abroad, where they were restored and put on the wing. It is very disappointing that we, even if you gave the valuable exhibits of the great war in other people's hands. But even if they walked in the dark waters of lakes and swamps forever.

On the island among the marshes in the Novgorod region, the search engines accidentally discovered a combat aircraft, preserved since the times Patriotic War Practically in perfect condition. The location of the aircraft is kept in the strictest session, as the combat vehicle is of great interest to the "black diggers": 500 thousand dollars can cost the artifact on the smuggled market.

In the Novgorod region found a combat aircraft of the Times of the Great Patriotic War, which was preserved almost in pristine form. The location of the unique find is kept in the strictest mystery: a similar aircraft is of great interest to "black diggers", as it is half a million dollars on the smuggled market.

The plane is presumably, it is a single-engine yak-1 - almost 70 years lost in a swampy terrain. Despite this, the combat machine completely survived, it does not even have a motor damaged. This makes it possible to assume that the pilot managed to plant the plane after he just refused the engine. The search engines found the remains of the pilot.

We intentionally keep in secret the name of the territory where the discovery was found. And we decided not to post the photos in open access, which managed to make where a military aircraft found. I will explain why. The combat vehicle is almost in perfect condition, only covered with moss. This find should remain in Russia, become the exhibit of one of the Russian museums military equipment And do not go beyond our country. Now in the black market, where illegal diggers are operating, such find would be valued in 500 thousand dollars.

Information about his finding of the search engines was transferred to the Center for Civil and Patriotic Education Synergy, which is located in Moscow. His employees have already threw the cry in Russia, inviting the best specialists in the restoration work. It is assumed that the restoration of the military aircraft will be held in two stages, each of which will be very complex.

The plane remains where it was found. The machine is completely covered with moss, the search engines did not touch the plane to not damage the metal structures. It is known that he was not shot down - the aircraft refused the engine, and the pilot managed to plant it. It is possible with one hundred percent confidence to declare that those of such finds around the world are counting units. Most often, search engines manage to find fragments of any military equipment.

The Civil and Patriotic Education Center "Synergy" was created on the basis of the Moscow Financial and Industry University in order to associate educational process and civil educational mission. The head of the Center, Mikhail Kudinov, is actively involved in searching expeditions, and university students and participants in the center in restoration work.

According to Mikhail Kudinov, the process of work on the find will take place in two stages. The first stage will last until June 9, at this time the plane must "remove from anchor", to relocate in the restoration workshop. The plans to betray the discovery of the aircraft and present his personal belongings to relatives.

We plan to attract one of the leading federal television channels so that in the literal to hand to the relatives of the pilot, whose remains are found in the plane, his personal belongings. We will prenate the search for native pilots and hope that they are crowned with success.

The second stage of the operation will take place until June 22. Search engines will attract the work of leading restorers of Russia, which not the first year restore the combat technique of the times of the Great Patriotic War.

Many restorers have already expressed a desire to take part in the work. Russian specialists have an excellent reputation. For example, in the military molodrama Pearl Harbor all the aircraft that we see on the screen were collected literally from anything Novosibirsk specialists. We were invited to work on the find - the Yak-1 aircraft. Unique masters are ready to restore the car up to the point that it can be flying.

"... in a different way there was a decor when applying the Hubugden airfield. This major air base periodically-took up to hundreds of German aircraft and was a tempting, but dangerous purpose. Seven PE-3, attacked by the airfield, was encountered large group (more than two dozen) German fighters, who, however, could not disrupt bombing. In an effort to win the time, the leading group of Captain B. Shishkin, I smeared and met the enemy fighters with a volley launch of jet shells. The surprise of the use of PC-132 and RS-82 played its role and delayed the attack of fighters, allowing Soviet pilots to be aimed at bombing around the parking of aircraft and hangm. However, during the waste of "loop", German fighters literally confused the group. Only one PE-3 returned to his airfield, another landed on the neighbors airfield. The pilot of the third "Petner", escaped on the parachute, turned out to be the last of the surviving "
