Kermit Weeks flies his Polikarpov Po2 Soviet biplane on a beautiful afternoon. The plane, built primarily of wood, and fabric covered, was originally designed and built in the late 1920's as a training and light utility aircraft. In World War II they were used for liaison, light attack, nuisance reader and propaganda aircraft... complete with microphone and loudspeaker. The PO2 is well known as a safe and reliable aircraft.
