Historical background

The Lisunov Li-2 is the Soviet version of the famous Douglas DC-3, adapted to Soviet conditions and produced under license from the late 1930s. After World War II, many Li-2s were incorporated into the fleet of Polish Airlines LOT, where they played a key role in the reconstruction and development of post-war air transport in Poland. These aircraft operated domestic and international routes between 1946 and 1955, and their distinctive appearance and history are part of an important chapter in the history of Polish civil aviation.
