EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Spanish Civil War era, as a formation of Polikarpov I-16 Rata fighter aircraft sit parked on the tarmac. The I-16, also known as the "Rata," or "Mouse," was a Soviet-designed piston-engine fighter that saw extensive use during the Spanish Civil War, with both Nationalist and Republican forces acquiring the aircraft through various means. The pilots of these sleek, agile machines could be seen in the skies above Spain, engaging in fierce aerial combat during the late 1930s. In this image, we see several I-16 Ratas lined up in a neat formation, their metallic surfaces reflecting the sunlight. The pilots, clad in leather flying helmets and goggles, stand in front of their respective aircraft, ready to climb aboard and take to the skies. The scene exudes a sense of teamwork and camaraderie, as the pilots prepare for their next sortie. The I-16s, with their distinctive propellers spinning idly, seem poised for action, their piston engines ready to roar to life. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of military aviation history when the skies above Spain were a battleground for political ideologies.
