MIG-5 or DIS

[saturncanuck]

I have just seen a really bad photo of the MiG-5, or DIS.

Anyone got some info or good pictures of this twin-engine fighter prototype?

This aircraft is well described, including photos and diagrams, in both:

Mikoyan's piston engined fighters, Yefim Gordon & Keith Dext, Red Star Publications

Soviet Combat Aircraft of the Second World War Volume 2, Yefim Gordon and Dimitri Khazanov, Midlands Press
