Description
The Yak-3 was the best fighter Yakovlev produced during WW 2 and there is no doubt that, together with Lavochkin La-7, it was the best Russian fighter of the WW 2 period. The extremely successful Yak-3 wooden airframe was lightened and fitted with a new VK 105 PF engine (1240 HP) in 1943. The early series aircraft, with one 20mm ShVAK canon and one 12,7 mm UBS machine gun (late production aircraft had two UBS guns), it reached the front lines in June 1944. Although it was a typical Russian wooden aircraft, with spartan cockpit and poor radio and navigation equipment, the Yak-3 was an excellent front line combat fighter, extremely maneuverable, and with a very good rate of climb and speed (646 km/h at 4100m). Up to 5000 m, where most dog fights on the eastern front occurred, the Yak-3 was tough opponent to all German fighters and especially the experienced guards pilots got many kills with their Yak-3s. In total 4848 Yak-3s were produced, with 4111 being built before the war ended.
