Historical Information and Use

The TB-7, also known as the Pe-8, was a heavy bomber used by the USSR during World War II. Designed at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s, it was one of the few strategic bombers used by the Soviet Union. This model took part in numerous bombing missions, including the famous raid on Berlin in 1941, demonstrating the USSR's ability to strike at long distances. The TB-7 was also used to transport important figures—one of its passengers was the Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, who traveled to Great Britain and the USA. The aircraft served mainly during the years 1940–1945.
