Sorry, typo, the Russian DC-3 is, of course, an Li-2.

I think that's the only site claiming it's an 'unauthorized' copy.

See: http://www.dc3history.org/russia.htm

You say "Pecan" & I say "Pecon" :)

To bad that when they copied it, they even copied the logo in the rudder pedals and a patch that the aircraft had in place.

RickH and JDK,
I would think that it would be quite an unpleasant experience to be bombed with an airdropped goat. They're quite tough and would have a huge attitude by the time it landed on it's unfortunate target.
I'd like to see an AN 2 sometime just for s...s and grins, (though not meaning any offense to SPAD drivers.)
