Title: With the Victory!
Post by: Greebo on October 09, 2021, 08:39:23 AM

Thanks to Devil505 for finding me the info for this Yak 9T skin, intended for the Cherkassy Pocket scenario as well as the MA.

This Yak 9M (like a 9T but with a 20mm cannon) was flown by the 513th Fighter Aviation Regiment and carried the slogan "With the Victory!" on the nose. The 513th was awarded the Order of Suvorov 3rd Degree for courage and so like its other aircraft this one also carried an image of this award on the nose.

Fantastic looking Yak!   Great addition for the scenario.

The first shot shwos pretty well how small and tight-fighting to the pilot this airplane is.
