Be-4 Seaplane Set

The Beriev Be-4, also known as KOR-2, was a Soviet shipboard reconnaissance flying boat. Developed before and during the Second World War, it was intended to support major warships with scouting capability. Limited production and the circumstances of the war restricted the scale of its service. Its flying-boat arrangement differed from a conventional wheeled reconnaissance aircraft, and its intended naval association reflected the continuing need for ships to observe beyond the range of their own direct vision.

Naval reconnaissance aircraft often required careful coordination with their supporting ship. Launch and recovery operations could restrict the ship’s movements, making the aircraft’s value dependent on more than its individual flying characteristics.
