I found this site while searching for info: Sky Pioneers | Àâèàöèÿ Ïåðâîé Ìèðîâîé Âîéíû.

I've never seen these photos before.

My ISP is blocking access to that site, with a warning message that it's a phishing scam trying to get personal info...

That's probably a paranoid Putin who wants to know who is penetrating a Russina archive to obtain military aircraft photos! Expect a visit from the KGB (or whatever the successor organisation is called).

These pictures do not come from ex Soviet archives. All of them are copies (scans) from known books etc. I had liked the site even better if original pictures of the Imperial Russian times were presented.

The site is interesting but as has been said the WWI stuff is all copied and fairly common. If you go to the parent site you will see they love experimental tiltwing jobs as well.
