ABOUT Established in 1934, the Ilyushin design bureau is one of the best-known Soviet/Russian aircraft design companies.
Over the years, the Ilyushin OKB has developed aircraft for widely varying roles. Its first aircraft to achieve production status, the DB-3 bomber, entered service in 1936. The IL-2 (Shturmovik) armored attack aircraft brought Ilyushin well-earned fame; this aircraft fought with considerable success during World War II.
The OKB's involvement with combat aircraft continued with the experimental IL-22 four-jet counterpart of the English Electric Canberra.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
