This plane was originally called the ZEKEovik. Built in Russian zone of Ukraine in town called Myronska. Voloddyy's papa flew on maiden voyage and landed in German occupied air field after disoriented and was taken prisoner. After war his son lived in U.S. and became an inspector for a municipality and has many models of the ZEKEovik in his flat. Son said his father feared the Messerschmitt. Plane was called the flying pierogie by the Pollocks.

The Klimov V12 was a modified french Hispano Swissa..

No, Luftwaffe order was to avoid the Yak-3, the Yak without the "conspicuous air scoop" as stated in the Luftwaffe order.

The enemy became painfully aware of the Yak9U capabilities. The lost pilot of a storch liaison landed on Soviet airfield at Sedy north-western Lithuania by mistake said at interrogation, The order was to ovoid combat with the Yak fighters having no antenna mast.. The Yak3 was already known and ovoided at low altitude.

Christof watch your attitude and you may have some good answers. Believe what you want to believe it's your problem, if you want to argue there are plenty of forums for this.

Good birdy

hey

remember that the yak-3 was faster at low altitude than its enemeys

just as the mig-3 was faster as top speed at high levels but at low levels where most of the eastern front fighting happend was slower than its enemey

so dont look at the specification figures as absolute reality

I love Normandia! I love Yak-3!

And Yakovlev was so handsome :) (i am not gay))))

@marcelo5252 Yak-3 was not only very manouevrable it was pretty fast as well with a 655 km/h top speed so your comparison with nimble Japanese fighters such as the Zero is not appropriate as the Zero never exceeded 550 km/h or so

[christof139]

@marcelo5252, Yeah, some of the German planes had more speed, but those that didn't were in trouble. US planes in the Pacific also kept their speed up as you say. However, pilot skill had much to do with dogfighting so ...

Early Mustang's with their Allison's were loved by their RAF crews in Europe due to the Allison's excellent low altitude performance & the high manueverability of the Mustang.

Еще раз пересмотрел. Классный видеоролик. Не пафосный, правдивый, беспристрасный.

Я много читал и читю о авиации, поэтому могу авторитетно сказать что лишнего ничего не сказано в этом видео не преукрашено. Як 3 показан таким каким он и был в ВОВ.

Спасибо разместивнему ролик.

@GOZR, BTW, I am right & you are wrong. The Luftwaffe order was to avoid the Yak-3, the fighter without the conspicuous oil cooling air scoop. Watch your smart ass attitude yourself.

@marcelo5252, Hi, unfortunately no, but I read about the Yak-3 on the inet or in a book, perhaps a book concerning the French Normandie-Niemen Squadron. After the Soviets got the bugs out of the Yak-3 - tearing wing fabric etc. - the plane was so nimble that it was a real killer. German planes could not dogfight with it because it was so nimble & also was fast enough with great climb rate. Keep looking & you will find that Luft. order forbidding combat with it.

@volodyyy This fighter turned into crap German planes. In addition to swearing is nothing you can say that because you have no facts to confirm his words, and can not be.Эти пиндосы ничем не могут аргументировать свою похабщину,вот и ссут кипятком.

[christof139]

@marcelo5252, Yes, you could see the conspicous airscoops plainly on Yak-7 & 9, but the Yak 3 had none. From a distance, SOMETIMES this could be noticed, sometimes not. Once engaged the same applied. The fact is that German fighter pilots had orders to avoid the Yak-3.
