Hallo,
For some time I am inquiring and collecting everething I can get concerning the Polikarpov U-2/Po-2.
My interest is in the following materials/details:
a. How many and which versions were used and when received, both military and civil use;
b. Which plane received which serial number (construction numbers are also welkom);
c. History;
d. How and in which colours were they painted (military and civil);
e. Pictures all kind not only the planes but also details, crashed etc.(by mail od CR-rom etc.);
f. Other interresting details, drawings (if there are construction) instruction manual, modifications/changes made to the planes etc.?
What is there and how can I get copies etc. concerning these materials?
Details concerning not in Roumanian Po-2's are also welkom
Thank you for your help.

ARR pilots serving at the east front hated the po-2 .Not because he was a performant aircf.but because he would disturb their sleep....
Vets talk about the Po-2 coming almost night by night over their airfields and making noise,throwing small bombs and candle parachuts.
ARR ace Dicesare told me that at their first evening at Tuzov airfield,together with JG 3 they were welkomed by a lot of PO-2.
Their instructor,Wolf Dietrich Wielke(162 vic),took of in his 109F(it wasn't a compleat darkness)and in 2-3 min he shoot down 3 po-2,at the great admiration of GR-7 pilots.

If the mentioned material on the U-2/Po-2 refers to captured aircraft, I'd also be interested in it.
