左側にオフセット配置された操縦席キャノピーや逆ガル形式の主翼など外形は非常に特徴があります。設計者のイェルモラエフ氏の代表作ですが、登場したときには戦況もソビエト軍がほぼ勝利を収めつつあったので活躍の場はそんあにありませんでした。この機体の性能で一番の売りはその航続距離の長さでした。なんと４,１００kmにおよぶものでした。

This was a Soviet bomber aircraft of World War II which took part in some nocturnal attacks on Berlin . It originated as a derivative of the Stal-7 ("Steel-7") transport designed by Bartini. The Yer-2 was a gull-winged aircraft, with the engines and landing gear nacelles fitted at the crank in the wing; it had twin tailfins. Around 320 were built.
