The Anatra D or Anade was a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft built in Russia and flown during World War I. It was a two-bay biplane of conventional configuration that seated the pilot and observer in tandem, open cockpits. Test flights revealed a number of design flaws, including weak wing structure (that killed company test pilot Jean Robinet on 21 July 1917)〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/books-magazines/53827-ready-index-augie-blume%92s-russian-military-air-fleet-ww1-volume-2-a-4.html〕 and poor stability. Nevertheless, the aircraft was ordered into production by the Army, and deliveries commenced in May 1916 after revisions had been made to correct the aircraft's centre of gravity in the hope of addressing the worst handling problems. The type continued in limited service after the war, eventually being used as a trainer until about 1919. ==Operators== ; *Imperial Russian Air Force: Initial deliveries began on 16 May 1916 with 170 acquired〔 ; *Soviet Air Force 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anatra D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
