The design is WW1 heavy bomber and the roundels are Russian, but beyond that unless I google you've got me.

The aircraft I posted is a Sikorsky (yes, that Sikorsky, as in Igor Sikorsky) Ilya Muromets S-23 Type B.

Make it something simple. I immediately knew who he was, but I unashamedly googled the spelling.

two things I have noted about this thread.

1) some people would rather right click and be right than guess

2) Darth has stalkers. I can see not liking him. Hell I don't get along with him in most threads. But why dislike every single post?
Dude is killing it here and has expanded my knowledge more in this thread than some History classes I have taken.

It makes no sense and it's petty.

Is that the sub that hit the Baton Rouge?

early 90's IIRC but that pic makes it look like it happened in the 40's

But I had seen it before.

This. Darth has a little troll that follows him everywhere.

I have a feeling there are some right-clickers on here, too...
