History Lesson:
The Kharkiv KhAI-5 was a soviet-built monoplane designed in the mid 1930s. It went on to serve mainly as a reconnaissance plane and light bomber throughout the late 1930s and into the first stages of WWII. As losses mounted, the KhAI-5's role briefly shifted to night fighting to try to preserve the aircraft's numbers. The last variants of the KhAI-5 were withdrawn from service in 1943.
