Sikorsky Ilya Maurometz (Russian Empire)
Historical Background
The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets was a pioneering Russian four-engine aircraft developed by Igor Sikorsky before World War I and adapted into the world's first operational four-engine heavy bomber. The type entered Imperial Russian military service in 1914, and a dedicated heavy-bomber formation was organized later that year.
Beginning combat operations in 1915, Ilya Muromets aircraft carried out long-range bombing and reconnaissance missions on the Eastern Front. Their size, multiple engines, defensive gun positions, and long range made them among the most advanced heavy aircraft of the First World War.
