Re: Walter Wolfrum and the mythical YAK-3

Hi Guys

Yes, I did read on the internet that the Russians were only given P-63's with the understanding that they were not to be used on the German front........don't know why!
I'll check through and establish who thought they had made claims over P-63's......Marquardt by memory. Trouble is that they were so similar to P-39's, yet the pilots claiming them usually got within 30 metres of them i.e three aircraft lengths.........that's unbelievably close. Perhaps they deemded them to be P-63's because there performance was superior to P-39's or something.

Anyway I'll get back to you with the claimants.

Johannes
