VB-109 by V.M.Myasichev
The second DB-108 was rebuilt into high altitude bomber. Pressurized cabin allowed crew of two to work without gas masks at altitudes up to 12,000m. Internal bomb bay could accommodate 2000kg bomb. Aircraft passed taxi trials and was ready for takeoff at the end of 1945.
In January 1946 design bureau was closed due to conversion of the industry to post-war reconstruction, and VB-109 was abandoned.
