Notes:
The Tu-2 bomber is a twin-engine bomber designed by the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau, NATO code name "Bat". The prototype made its first successful flight in January 1941, and in November 1942, three of this type were delivered to the Soviet front-line units, and mass production began in 1943. This type of airborne bomb load is large, the flight speed is faster, the combat range is longer, the self-defense ability is strong, and the bombing sight can be used for both horizontal and dive bombing. The Tu-2 was the Soviet Union's best bomber of World War II and was described as a "real fighter." This type of aircraft is mainly modified with 25 types, participating in bombing, interception, ground attack, torpedo attack, high-speed reconnaissance and other combat missions, by the end of World War II, more than 1,100 were produced; Production continued after the war, with a total of 2527 produced. ??In the early days of its creation, the PLA Air Force purchased a batch of Tu-2 bombers from the Soviet Union. These bombers fought in the suppression of bandits, the liberation of the coastal islands of Zhejiang, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the counterinsurgency in Tibet, and the air war against Taiwan. They have now all retired from active service and have played an important role. Although China has imported a large number of Tu-2 bombers, only a few seem to have been preserved, one of which is the one in the Beijing Military Museum
