Is it indeed a G-26? I haven't seen it before, and now found it as just "flying car by Grohovskiy', while the G-26 is said to be an experimental plane: http://www.airwar.ru/enc/xplane/g26.html

Вы не могли бы переводить, что для нас, пожалуйста?

I've found the puzzle picture in a couple of different sources, attributed as the G-26. I'll defer to others with more information.

I wasn't referring to the article itself, but to the picture of what is said to be a G-26 in it, so I supposed it would be OK with no translation  ::)
