Nice find Taranov,

and I will search about it.
 
Think the plane is a crude sideview of a Boeing B-9... ?

Hi Taranov,

I searched in two Russian books about Sikorsky,but nothing to this moment.

I nonetheless agree with Lark. With the emphasis on "crude", one would hardly expect them to be the same. Alternatively, it could be that someone proposed a lightened, simplified, specialist version of the B-9 as a carrier for the Christie tank. Either way, it does not look much like a Sikorsky design, and the wings and engine are very Boeing.
