The latest innovation of Soviet air power, the Poliakarpov I-153. It is produced in the thousands, and takes full advantage of the lessons learned in Spanish civil war. Bi-planes are superior in air combat. Beware!

1941 Stalin problems. Not enough terrain left. Too few units on the western front . Too many units on the Manchurian front.
