Re: Yak-i's in the battle for Smolensk

123 iap had 20 Yak-1 on 22 june 1941 in Kobrin a/f, near Brest. They were delivered from factories in boxes with wings demounted, and only a day before invasion just several a/c's were mounted and ready for action. It is beleived, all of them were lost on ground early in 22 june.
