History and Use of the Beriev Be-6 Polar Aviation

The Beriev Be-6 is a twin-engine flying boat designed in the USSR in the mid-1940s. Produced from 1949, it was used by Soviet aviation primarily for reconnaissance, patrol, transport, and rescue missions over the northern seas and the Arctic Ocean. The "Polar Aviation" variant was employed for arctic expeditions, supply drops, and evacuations in harsh weather conditions—the Be-6 proved reliable during numerous operations in Siberia, the Arctic, and the Far East up until the mid-1960s (the Cold War period).
