Title: P-39Q, LA-5N and Yak-9T
Post by: SuBWaYCH on August 01, 2008, 12:52:48 PM

Can someone please tell me when all of these aircraft entered service with the U.S.S.R.?

The La-5FN and the Yakovlev 9T were both introduced in mid-late 1943.

There's a thread listing all rollout dates either in this forum or in the CT one. It's by Mister Fork IIRC.

The original Yak-9 went into production in October 1942 and entered service in December with 42 IAP in the defence of Stalingrad. Only 500 over the original Yak-9s were built before it was supplanted by the modified variants the first being the Yak-9T.

The first Yak-9T with the 37mm cannon first entered service at the end of March 1943 and saw action at Kursk with units of the 16th Air Army.
