Kira Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'd say it's Russian due to the center cannon with off center MG, well, assuming so. That's a setup that's typical of WWII Russia as far as I've been able to determine. Quote
Squawk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Definately a Yak series. I'm familiar with the A/C and the wing landing light on the port side. (skinning issues =P ) Looks like a Yak-9 or a Yak-9 of some variant. A Yak-1b and Yak-7 have a pronounced chin scoop. The Yak 3 has no scoop, and 2 cowling MG's and there appears only the one cowl MG firing. The Yak-9 and the Yak-9 D use the same model so that is impossible to tell by looks, the same with the Yak-9 M and the Yak-9 DD. My wager is on a Yak-9 M. 1 Quote

DD_Arthur Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Hasn't the 'plane in Hill's picture got a chin mounted oil cooler? Yak1? Quote
OverDhill Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 FYI from Facebook The answer was a Yak-9D 1943 Quote
