Historical Information about the I-153 “Chaika”

The I-153 Chaika is a Soviet biplane fighter produced from 1938 to 1941. Widely used by the USSR during battles in the Far East against Japan (the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, 1939), and subsequently at the beginning of World War II and during the Winter War with Finland. Despite its outdated design, the “Chaika” was highly maneuverable and compact, which allowed it to be used by both fighter and ground-attack aviation units.
