  • i 16 -type-24(Russian pilots argo"ishak"(donkey)-1935 ys

  • The Bf-109 ever shot down in combat was by Frank Tinker, an USAer (American), flying an I-16 for Republican Spain in 1937 at the Battle of Brunete, & he got another Bf-109B later.

  • @trackCdental

    and my father, some family and not too

    The Mosca its the more charismatic in the republic zone and not, very singular concept, fly slowly and rumorous like a old big truck. or tank, when you listen you down

  • @manesco73

    jajajaja my grandfather!

  • Nacionalist call ir Rat (Rata) and republicans Fly (Mosca) because they read bad cyrilic "Moscow" and say it Mosca

  • You no romanised. One thinks of reading in Spanish language the word Москва, i read Mosca

    Imagine a large wooden box, down from a boat, the plane disassembled inside this absence of information to the people of the content, just put the boxes in the city of forwards, Москва, people say, "Mosca"

    Please look in my favorites about Mosca

  • I understand you. Not sure I agree though. Москва́ romanised is Moskva, not Mosca. You are right the Nationalist (not National) did not use it, but that did not stop them from giving her a nickname. I might be wrong though, would you care to post your sources? thanks.

  • the mosca its a spanish republican airplane made in CCCP and assembly in spain- republican zone when the civil war, NOT national!!... you understand me?

  • Moscow (in CIRILIC) read MOSCA IN SPANISH!!

    you knows?? ..........

  • It is actually both. During the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalist side nicknamed her Rata ("Rat") and the Republicans Mosca ("Fly"). No relation betwen Mosca and Moscow. It was called Fly due to its small size.
