Re: Petlyakov Pe-8
Post-war use
After the war, the Pe-8 was used extensively as a testbed for trials involving Soviet derivatives of the German V-1 flying bomb and it was designated as the Pe-8LL for prototype piston engine trials.
It was also used as a mother ship for the experimental rocket-engined Bisnovat 5 in 1948–49.
Aeroflot received several of the surviving Pe-8s for polar exploration.
Their military equipment removed, they had additional fuel tanks installed, were painted orange, and had their engines upgraded to either ASh-82FNs or Shvetsov ASh-73s.
One landed at the North Pole in 1954 and others helped to monitor the drift ice stations NP-2, NP-3 and NP-4 during the late 1950s.
