One of the best light bombers of whole Second World War, Petlyakov Pe-2 FT, can be found from the Norwegian Aviation Museum. Just the nose part, though. Still, it gives a good idea how sleek and efficient this twin engine heavy fighter / light bomber war.

"Peshka"
Russian fighter bomber
History
The Petlyakov Pe-2 was one of the Soviet Union’s most important tactical aircraft during the Second World War. The aircraft type became the Russians’ answer to the British Mosquito, but the Pe-2 was built of metal and was produced in much larger numbers. The prototype was in the air in December 1939 and just one year later the aircraft was put into production. 11,427 of these aircraft were built, in many variants. It was used for example as a dive bomber, long-distance fighter, fighter bomber, light bomber, photo-reconnaissance aircraft, night fighter and trainer.
The PE-2 FT was the variant produced in the largest quantities. The aircraft was mainly equipped for missions as a fighter bomber/light bomber. The dive brakes were removed and the engines were improved.
The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum’s Petlyakov Pe-2FT, number 16/141, took off from the Vajenga airfield outside Murmansk in March 1943. The mission was to attack ships outside Hamningberg on the coast of Finnmark. While attacking the vessels the Russian plane became engaged in combat with a German fighter and was shot down. Two of the crew of three survived the forced landing, but were later taken prisoner by German forces during their escape back to the Russian area. In 1989 the wreck of the aircraft was brought down from the Finnmarksvidda by a Sea King from 330 Squadron and it was later transported to Bodø for restoration. Today the cockpit section and one engine have been completely restored.
Description
The cockpit section has been restored and is displayed complete. It is painted in a natural green colour with a light blue underside. The nose of the cockpit is in black anti-glare.
