In the early 1900s, Igor Sikorsky designed the first four-engine aircraft, envisioning it as a 16-passenger airliner. Military priorities intervened with the outbreak of WW I and it became a bomber named for a hero from Slavic mythology, Ilya Muromets. Historical accounts are inconsistent but it's said that German fighter pilots avoided the bomber and its many derivatives because its multiple gunners were lethal.
There were many were many variations as the bomber series was modified during the war. My Poser figure will draw on features from several variants.
