Antonov An-14

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-14

The Antonov An-14 Pchelka (Russian: «??????», "Little Bee", (NATO reporting name
Clod) is a Soviet utility aircraft which was first flown on 15 March 1958. It
was a twin-engined light STOL utility transport, with two 300 hp Ivchenko
AI-14RF radial piston engines. Serial production started in 1966, and about 300
examples were built by the time production ended in 1972. The An-14 failed to
replace the more successful An-2 biplane, which was manufactured until 1990,
(the An-2 is still manufactured on special order). The An-14's successor, the
An-28 with turboprop engines, is still manufactured at PZL Mielec factories in
Poland, under the names PZL M28 Skytruck and PZL M28B Bryza.

With very stable flight characteristics, the An-14 could be flown by most pilots
after a few hours of basic training. A small number of An-14s are still in
airworthy condition.
