The PB-1 (DG-58) was a prototype dive bomber designed in 1935 by Dmitri Pavlovich Grigorovich. One prototype was produced, but was scraped before testing could begin because of Grigorovich's arrest. The PB-1 had a powerful aramment of two forward firing 20mm ShVAK cannon in the wings, one .30 cal machine gun in the rear cockpit, and two 250 lb bombs under the wings.
