History and Use of the Yakovlev Yak-3

The Yakovlev Yak-3 was one of the best fighters used by the Soviet Union during World War II. It was famous for its remarkable agility, excellent maneuverability, and very good power-to-weight ratio. The aircraft entered service in 1944, quickly becoming a favorite among Soviet pilots and French aces from the Normandie-Niemen regiment.
