The Polikarpov I-153 was a biplane used by the Soviet Union in the pre-World War II era and during the initial phase of the conflict. The "Chaika" became renowned during the Soviet-Finnish War (the so-called Winter War) and on the Eastern Front in the early years of World War II, serving from 1939 until around 1942. Its distinctive features included retractable landing gear and a unique wing shape, which set it apart from other aircraft of that period.
