USSR had it so anyone who was 16+ could become a pilot. But most were 20 or so, and not many young people joined the Red Air Force, but joined the Red Army on the ground.

I'm guessing the very far engine is a Pratt & Whitney R2800 or a Wright Cyclone? But it looks like a R2800 more I think. The middle engine looks to be a Rolls Royce Merlin or maybe a Griffon. But it doesn't look right to me? The second I'm guessing is a Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp? It's not very big, and looks fairly similar?
