I share with you a collection of photos of the most produced Soviet fighter of all time, including some rare photos of the plane with Allied markings. We're talking about Yakovlev Yak-9, the first Soviet aircraft to shoot down a Me-262. To see a full report and the photos, visit the link below:

Looks like what you'd get if a P-40 and a Hurricane had a baby.

I'm curious about a couple of the photos that look like an upper fuselage panel has been turned into a window. None of the Soviet Air Force Yaks are that way, just the US-marked one and one that looks like it has civilian markings.

It's way too far back for a seat (and the occupant wouldn't be able to see much, anyway). Anybody got an idea what it is?

Third pic (excluding 3-view) from bottom also has it. Not sure which country the markings represent though.
