1. Title: The Heinkel HD.37a Prototype and Its Soviet Counterpart, the I-7 2. Description: This photograph showcases two significant aviation milestones from the late 1920s: the Heinkel HD.37a prototype and its Soviet counterpart, the I-7. The Heinkel HD.37a, designed by the renowned German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel Flugzeugwerke, was a groundbreaking monoplane fighter aircraft that first took to the skies in 1928. The HD.37a was powered by a potent Heinkel HS.32A engine, boasting a top speed of 215 km/h (134 mph). In the background of the image, the I-7, also known as the Polikarpov I-7 or I-6, can be seen. This Soviet fighter aircraft was a license-built version of the Heinkel HD.37a, adapted by the TsKB (Tsentral'noe konstruktorskoye byuro - Central Construction Bureau) and produced by Polikarpov. The I-7 featured several modifications, including the installation of a Mikulin M-17F engine and Soviet-made armament and radio equipment. The I-7 entered service with the Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily (VVS), or Soviet Air Force, in 1929. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the international exchange of aviation technology during this period, as well as the rapid advancements in aircraft design that characterized the interwar years. Both the Heinkel HD.37a and the I-7 played essential roles in the development of modern military aviation, paving the way for more advanced fighter aircraft in the decades to come. 3.
