Abstract
Integrated geophysical studies in the area of the Ugra river near the town of Yukhnov are carried out to detect the remains of the large military aircraft ER-2, crashed here on October 7, 1941. Geophysical studies were conducted using magnetic survey and GPR. The results of the mag-netic survey has revealed the accumulation of the iron wreckage near the right bank. We found 82 anomalies of magnetic field are scattered in an area of 40 thousand sq.m. Some of the anomalies were confirmed with the help of GPR. Special diver team brought the largest fragments of the air-craft, including chassis. The identity of the aircraft to 81 air division was determined by the license plate on the chassis and so the names of the dead pilots was recognized.
