A copied P-51 but she's still a beauty!!

[@mach1gtx150]

@Possumlove I knew the Russians had well designed aircraft, but wasn't aware of this bit of history. Good to know! Thank you! She is a beauty!!

Dear sir, you are wrong. Yak-3 (Yak-1) and P-51 are completely different aircraft. Everything is different: size, weight, design, engines, weapons, etc. Moreone, the Yak-3 descended from the Yak-1, which was born before the P-51 prototype.

@@petr1766 Interesting! Thank you sir.

HORSE FEATHERS!! No resemblance whatever!..except that it is a single seat monoplane fighter with a V-12 engine!
