Flying Circus planes and the Russian Empire ?

[jollyjack]

Any tips on what FC1 and 2 planes were used by the Russian Empire in ww1 on the Eastern front?  Curious about used plane markings too. 

Found a few on Haluter's, but most are wearing red stars.

During a search i saw this monster; what is it? The parked truck looks familiar BTW.

I think that's the Ilya Murmonets from RoF.

Here is a nice one, found it but alas without the eagle:

 

BTW It seems the Russian pilots of WW1 were quite accomplished :

The monster plane in the "photo" is a work of fiction, inspired by the real Kalinin K-7.

 

See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kalinin-k7-heavy-bomber/

 

The real thing was pretty impressive, but unfortunately not so good at staying in the air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalinin_K-7
