Hi Guys: I am currently doing some historical research on my ancestors and came across a story of my grandfather that jumped from an airplane into a forest of partisans (from the soviet side) into todays Belarussia to assist some partisans around august 1943. Based on his diary he jumped from a double decker with a closed body and was sitting on a folding bench. It took around 2 hours from Orel area to Belarussia (around 110–130 kmh) the flight took around 2 hours given German Flak-fire.

Does anyone know which aircrafts were used during that time by the soviets and could maybe give a lead? Thanks!
