The Tupolev ANT-3 was a Soviet all-metal sesquiplane designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau and flown for the first time on 6 August 1925. It was Tupolev's first practical aircraft, built after the experience gained on the ANT-1 and ANT-2, and the Soviet air forces ordered it as the R-3 two-seat reconnaissance aircraft. Its structure was made of light alloys with corrugated aluminium skin, and it could take a range of engines, with the Lorraine-Dietrich 12Eb powering most of the production machines. Roughly one hundred were built between 1926 and 1928 at state factories in Moscow, and its long-distance propaganda flights, including a round-Europe trip and a Moscow to Tokyo return, made it known well beyond the Soviet Union.
