Photo Comment

Manufactured mid-1945 as a Li-2T it first served with the Soviet Union Air Force, identity not known. Around 1946/47 it entered service with the Yugoslav Air Force as 71103. It was renamed Li-3 after the conversion from Shvetsov ASh-62 engines to P&W R-1830-900. Possibly at the same time the serial was changed to 7011. After withdrawal it was painted in fake RAF markings for a movie. It was stored at Belgrade airport, but early 2017 it was moved to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd grounds.
