Dan
You made the correct observation it could be a YAK7 or YAK 9 due to the large ventral cooling intake used on the YAK's ...while also P-40's had a cooling intake though was under engine nacelle and not under the fuselage and was more oval shaped and smaller.Though it still could be a P-40 or Hurricane becuase is oval shapped .YAK didnt have such ovals cooling intakes on the engine nacells and under the airframe What was the year of the photo of the shot down Russian fighter ?

Ju 88A No. 109A was shot down at Bolshoi Tokmak on 28 Sept. 1943. So the photo was taken before that date. BTW, does anyone know if a replacement Ju 88 (No. 109B) was given to ARR? Gen. Dénes |

The wrecks are from a IAK -1 or IAK - 1M. The shape of radiator it's the same like in the picture. Dan. |

Prior WWII, two great romanian aerobatic pilots Bazu and Papana. In WWII until 23 august '44 they were in oposite sides. Bazu was fighter pilot in Axis forces and Papana was a pilot instructor in U.S., training american pilots to fight against Axis forces. Picture courtesy Razvan Bujor.

I think there are some articles about Papana, i have to look for them. Soon as i will find something i let you know. Dan. PS. It is also a movie with Papana at an U.S. aerobatic show with his Buker Jungmeister prior WWII. This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on March 07, 2005 10:52 am |
