Yak-3U

Iam looking for any photos of Yak-3U from Korea war. Can u help me?

 

Korean?

 

tx ;O))))

 

i dont know, even i found some yaks3U with radial engines Ô.ô

 

cc, with AŠ-82 FN engine, i need with VK-107A because with AŠ-82 FN was made only one prototype i think...

 

That's a P-39!

 

I never heard of Yak-3 in the Korean war, but some of Yak-9, Yak-17 & Yak-18. Maybe Yak-3 was in French Indochina?

I must have a 3-view and a photo of the Yak-3U in one of my books, but quality is awful. Can scan it if you want.

 

I can find quote showing that He-113 was in the Battle of Britain.
Jak-3 & Yak-9 look a lot alike

 

Yak-3U never existed. There was Yak-3W with radial engine ASh-82. Plane was superb, but they built only 1.

May be you think about Yak-9U with VK-107 engine?

In Korean war Soviets used Yak-9P, a metallic variant of Yak-9U with one 37mm and 2x23mm cannons. This plane was very heavy and often downed by Mustangs

 

Aha!
That is among the reasons for US propogandist press implying yak9 was junk. I always wondered about that...
Take a F-51 and stick three great big cannons in it and see how high performance it is...
Yeah.

 

I think in Korea it was all Yak-9P. See:

Nice studies on other VVS planes on the same page BTW.

 

That web site is fantastic, check out the 37mm armed LaGG-3 sections too

 

This is quite mediocre
