Beautiful artwork as always! But could we change the title to Aviotehas PN-3?
Aviotehas (aka Aviotöökoda) was a military workshop in Lasnamäe (Tallinn) which took over Estonian military airframe construction after ÕGL went into liquidation.
The 'PN' is for designers Voldemar Post and Ludvig Roman Neudorf (aka Rein Tooma). It was their third design following the PON-1 (aka ÕGL-1 and KOD-1) and PON-2 (aka ÕGL-2) with Otto Org. The PTO-4 (Post, Tooma, Org) followed the PN-3 in design but preceded it into the air.
BTW, the original PN-3 concept was sketched out in 1935 by an engineer named Küttner who had come to Estonia from St. Petersburg before moving on to Germany in 1937. My first thought was Joachim Küttner ... but he was born and raised in Breslau. Anyone know who this erstwhile 'Estonian' insener Küttner might have been?
