Historical Information

The Yakovlev Yak-6 is a Soviet light multi-purpose aircraft, widely used by the USSR during World War II (production years: 1942–1945). The "M" model indicates an upgraded version, equipped among other things with skis to enable operations from snow-covered runways. Durability, simplicity, and the ability to be quickly prepared for flights in harsh climate conditions made the Yak-6M not only used for transport, but also for reconnaissance missions, medical evacuation, and supplying the Eastern Front.
