Many would argue that the Yaks were superior to the Spitfire. Infact Yak fighters are often stated to have been the finest fighters of the entire war. German fighters were said to have been ordered not to engage them in combat belowย 3,000 ft.
Beautifully sharp and clear photograph by the way, one to be proud of that's for sure.

Thanks again Daniel. That is interesting information. I really didn't know much about them, so I was really pleased to see it fly.
This photo made me feel like I'd been flying in formation! ย
