The Museum’s Il-2 is a composite aircraft consisting primarily of parts of at least two separate Il-2 wrecks found in Russia. Significant portions of the Il-2 are from an aircraft that was built late in 1943 and went into combat at the end of 1943 or early 1944. Other significant parts of the Museum’s Il-2 came from an aircraft that was shot down near Murmansk, more than 1,126 kilometers (700 miles) north of St. Petersburg.
The Il-2 Shturmovik played an essential role in defeating the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. During the war, 36,183 units of the Il-2 were produced, and in combination with its successor, the Ilyushin Il-10, a total of 42,330 were built, making it the single most produced military aircraft design in aviation history, as well as one of the most produced piloted aircraft in history along with the American postwar civilian Cessna 172 and the Soviet Union's own then-contemporary Polikarpov Po-2 Kukuruznik multipurpose biplane.
