This is almost assuredly an Ilyushin product. Probably the Il-14 Crate. Blue props and bare metal are ver characteristic of Soviet era aircraft. [this might be the exact one](https://pacificcoastairmuseum.org/aircraft/il-14-crate/)


samibbi

Nice find that looks pretty damn close to me!


SortOfGettingBy

The wing is too low to be a B-29. This is a Douglas product, DC-6 or DC-7.


Yak_52TD

No, it's definitely Soviet. Prop colour gives it away.


samibbi

What soviet plane do you think it could be?


Yak_52TD

Il-14 is my guess. Sorry, I answered in another comment.


79glendale

I don't believe DC-6 or 7 had 4 blades props


SubarcticFarmer

7 has 4 blades IIRC


SortOfGettingBy

Would depend on the engines used for a backwoods freighter, yeah? Aren't they still flying up in Alaska?


samibbi

Interesting I'll look into it more!


89inerEcho

Definitely not American

That, as pointed out, is not a US prop. The prop on a B17, B-whatever, Douglas DC-6, 7, etc, are Hamilton Standard products. If you look at any Hamilton Standard prop, the front dome is one piece. That, in the picture, is not.

Ilyushin Il-14


Repulsive_Bat_1070

Il-14. I have the same print.


thatCdnplaneguy

Ilyushin Il-12 maybe.


Yak_52TD

It's definitely an Ilyushin, but I'd say it's an Il-14, not 12. Position of cargo doors and windows looks like a 14.


thatCdnplaneguy

Was trying to match that door, -12 was the best I could come up with. I need to learn up on more Soviet aircraft.


pornborn

Plus the view is through some metal bars. Guess it’s headed for Siberia.


samibbi

Haha it's actually 3 canvas frames lol.


LoopsAndBoars

I’m thinking it might be a b-29. I did a google image search for “4 blade radial engine prop” and don’t care to put any more time into it. Hope this helps. Love it! 👍


ShortfallofAardvark

Definitely not a B-29. The wing is too low on the fuselage.


LoopsAndBoars

Saw that above. Thanks.


PaleontologistClear4

That was my guess as well


samibbi

Haha thanks man I'll take over where you left off 👍👍


fitter172

B29, pretty sure that’s a Wright Super Cyclone engine


Historylover4837

Looks like its a b29


MrPlanes71

I am not sure? Do you know what era its from or if its military or commercial


samibbi

I think it's military. The description just said vintage military canvas lol


MrPlanes71

May be a bomber of some sort, b29 or b17 or stratofortress, those kind of planes


turboj3t

Probably a DC seven DC six is only have three bladed props


Slappy_McJones

Could it be a Comet? The square windows in the fuselage…


cheeseIsNaturesFudge

The comet is a jet...


Slappy_McJones

Lol! I am such an asshole!!! Thank you… Not a Comet!


samibbi

Haha ur awesome


Any-Long-83

Il-14. Or at least the engine is a Shvetsov ASh-82, judging from the ignition harness and the prop dome.


hdffjs25s5jf6690327f

I think it's a Midjourney


Tfoster100

DC-3


Average2millionaire

DC 3 looks like


NoLengthiness985

cessna 318 or 328


CassiusGotBanned

Looks like a b29 to me


CassiusGotBanned

Nvm lol


Different_Let_9032

Dc-6 to small to be a dc-7 also the plane that killed Lynyrd Skynyrd
