The Yakovlev Yak-3
was one of the smallest and lightest fighters on WWII and
served the Russian Air Force well during WWII. It was loved by
both the ground crews and pilots for it's toughness its
maintainability. The original Yak-3s were built mostly of
plywood, saving aluminum for other war industries. This one is
a converted Yak-11 with an Allison engine.
