Russian?
Posted by SubarooMike on Sunday, January 25, 2015 9:55 PM

Hello builders!    Can anyone read Russian?  I have a numbered cut-away of an F4F that is in Russian.  I need to know the name of a specific part but the whole darn this is in Russian.  I'm sure  it is an o2 bottle, but I'm just curious.   You can zoom in on the picture (that's why I posted the link and not the picture itself).  It's number 80

I do not speak Russian, but I do have that drawing in my copy of

" Wings of the Navy" by Captain Eric Brown.

Number 80 is marked in English as : Oxygen Cylinder.

Hope that helpsBig Smile

That does help!   Thanks a lot!     Would you be able to send me a link to the particular book you have?  I Googled it and it seems that there is a few different -- versions?  Or maybe just different covers.

The cutaways in the book were originally published in Air Enthusiast magazine which appears to be available for download.

Unfortunately, I do not know which issue contained the Wildcat drawing.

Amazon advertises the book by Captain Eric Brown here:
