The Anatra V.I. (for Ivanov-Voisin not the Roman numeral VI) was a Russian reconnaissance aircraft of World War I. It was a redesign of the French Voisin Type L undertaken by Podporuchik Piotr Ivanov in Zhmerinka. The Voisin’s fuselage pod was replaced by a streamlined plywood construction that included an all-new mount for the observer’s machine gun and an aluminium firewall between the pilot’s cockpit and the aircraft’s fuel tank. The wings and landing gear were strengthened as well.
