Haha, you had me fooled for a moment there. BUT, you can't fool a Soviet Ace. :P

Anyway, the answer is a Bartini VVA-14 Long-Rage Seaplane. It was supposed to be able to take off from the water, VTOL style, but failed because of the engines or something? My Encyclopedia of Soviet Aircraft is always good. ;)

And also, that's how they got other Mirage's like the IV and another early Mirage (by buying them, and then suiting them up for their own uses, not stealing the prints).

France did end up selling Mirage's to Israel, but at the time, Charles De Gaulle was refusing to sell them so they had to steal Mirage 3. It was being produced outside France, Switzerland if I remember right, and a Mossad agent managed to get ahold of several hundred copies of the design.

Well I do have like 10+ books all about Soviet planes from 1920s-1991. I don't know them all off hand, but I'm sure if you post a soviet plane, I'll be sure to find it somewhere in one of my books. ;) I actually wish I had one of those VVA-14 sea planes. It would be SWEEEET. :D

No bloody wonder! Your knowledge combined with 10+ books is enough for world domination.

And it really would be pretty amazing to own one of those, they look so unusual that most will think its a spacecraft :grin:
