Name that Flying Machine
Not from Polikarpov.
Wiki says only two were built - for the purpose of determining if automotive engines could be utilised in light aircraft.
Described as a two-seat sports aircraft with first flight in 1937.

All these years looking at 'Air Clues' and I never knew the Bison had that configuration of undercarriage maybe copied from the B47?
with those clues life becomes easy!
The Gribovsky G-23 Komsomolyets 2 (Russian: Грибовский Г-23 Комсомолец 2) was a two-seat, single aircraft originally intended to explore the potential of a car-derived, water cooled inline engine for light aviation. It was built in the USSR in the 1930s. A second example was fitted with two different engines of greater power.

Bit of a surprise - but with the year it became a lot easier
