Default Re: New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

Dear DRG.

I will be glad to help you.

The second name of glider G-11 is name G-29. G-29 there was its name in the course of working out of projects, then it has received the name by quantity of transported commandoes of 11 persons - G-11. This glider is easier for finding by name of G-29, than G-11.

In descriptions of this glider it is said, that this glider was not made since 1945 for 1946, but then it made till 1948. In these descriptions of history of a glider there is nothing about when this glider have removed from arms.
I have looked data in other gliders were on arms and have found.
In the description of glider C-25:

http://www.airwar.ru/enc/glider/c25.html

Here there is a description that after glider tests in 1948, in 1 year gliders G-11 have begun have removed from arms of Red Army. And in 1951-53 replacements of all gliders on Yak-14 have begun. I think it were possible to tell with confidence that since 1953 in Red Army only Yak-14.

Yours faithfully.
