	Here's some military aviation trivia: When the Soviet Union made their B-29 clone, the Tupolev Tu-4, what was strange about the rudder pedals?

	There is an interesting story about the Tu-4. If is true or not I don't know, but is funny. Stalin had ordered the Tu-4 to be copied down to the "very last bolt". Tupolev had found some things unnecessary, however he didn't dare challenge Stalin's order. Since Stalin had ordered everything copied, also they copied the Boeing logo in the rudder pedals.
