I've tried enhancing the photos using the computer with photoshop and blow up 3 add-on. Tried converting the raster image to vector and enlarging it. Even tried with OCR program but none of these ideas worked. In the end I just enlarged each photo and tried to guess what the specific letter was. I do not speak Russian, but N.V.Shavrov's book History of aircraft construction in USSR untill 1938 was a great help in determining the names of the designers. That man also covered the periods between 1938 and 1950 and the third one between 1951 and 1965. Such a shame these books weren't translated in english.
So, here are the results:
Picture 1:
3-view of the B-1 bomber

Picture 2:
Bombers of the state aircraft-building plant No.1 (GAZ No.1), Polikarpov's home base.

Top to down:

Polikarpov biplane project
Aleksey Aleksandrovich Krylov biplane project
Aleksey Aleksandrovich Krylov monoplane project
Leonid Dmitrievich Kolpakov-Miroshnichenko biplane project
Leonid Dmitrievich Kolpakov-Miroshnichenko ...... biplane project

Picture 3:

state aircraft-building plant No.1 (GAZ No.1) B2 bomber with two ........Wright Tornado III engines.

Picture 4:

L.2-2LD

Polikarpov TB2 with M-17 engines and.....

Picture 5:

All metal monoplane bombers

Tupolev ANT-4
Junkers Jug-1,Soviet version of the Junkers K 30 bomber, purchased in small numbers from Junkers in the mid-1920s and regarded as the first effective "modern" long-range bomber in the Soviet inventory.
Tupolev TB-1


I found one picture of the Polikarpov TB 2 and one of the Kolpakov K-1 from 1917 which could have served as basis for his biplane project mentioned in pictures above.

edit: I haven't seen the link in the first post, just gave myself a facepalm. It would have been much more easier if i knew that.

Hi Stenda,

I think it was Tupolev design ?.

 

[Stenda G]

S!
No, Hesham. Thise are frontal and top-veiw of monoplane variant with 4xLiberty by A.A.Krilov (see 2nd pic - 3d from above). All projects from GAZ No1 design bureau.

Also there is side-view of Kolpakov-Miroschnichenko 3-motor project behind the woman (the last one on the 2nd pic).

Upd: AKON (AKON - aviatsionnaya konstruktsiya osobogo nasnacheniya - special purpose aircraft) - float torpedo-bomber version for OSTECHBUREAU

OK Stenda.
