| Description |
The Yak 3, a formidable dog-fighter, was regarded as one of the finest interceptors of WWII. Its high power-to-weight ratio allowed it excellent performance and it proved to be very robust and easily maintained. The uncomplicated but much-feared aircraft first flew in 1943 but was not introduced to service by the Soviet Air Force until the following year. Luftwaffe pilots became accustomed to shooting down poorly equiped, hastily trained Russians. In 1944 however the German pilots were horrified to find they were being bested by a well-flown, simple little 1300 hp Russian fighter made of wood. By late the same year the Yak-3 had played a major hand in wresting control of the skies over the Eastern Front from the Germans. |
