Grigorovich M-16
Grigorovich M-16 (alternative designation ShCh M-16, sometimes also Shchetinin M-16) was a successful Russian World War I-era biplane flying boat of the Farman type, developed from the M-9 by Grigorovich. Somewhat larger than the M-9, the M-16 was a version especially intended for winter operations, with better aerodynamic qualities. Wartime use. Six M-16s fell into Finnish hands during the Russian Civil War. The first Finnish parachute jump was made on June 17, 1922 from a M-16 by Eero Erho. The aircraft were flown until 1923. One additional plane was captured by the fledgling Estonian Air Force. Grigorovich
