Sombody emailed this picture to me.
Only things I know: it's a Russian plane from around 1932 and it did testflights before it crashed.
Sombody has an idea what plane this is ?
I believe its a Tupolev ANT-20 of which there was only one! commonly called the Maxim Gorky, widely used for propaganda flights. If I remember my old books it crashed during an aerial demonstration, killing about 60-70 people

There are no strangers in the world, just friends we have yet to meet.
Looks like CGI to me too, though its configuration seems to be based on the Kalinin K-7. As far as I know, all Tupolev aircraft from that era (1930's) were taildraggers, which rules them out.
