I have a references which give different figures for most of the specs. OKB Ilyushin was produced after Bills book and had the benefit of direct access to OKB archives.
However I would like discussion on the subject before changing them. Personally I go with OKB Ilyushin. 212.100.250.230 (talk) 16:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
