Re: I 61 - American?
All this planes were designd after (of in time - MiG-3 M82) stopping the production of MiG-3 in 1941/1942.
To names mentioned by Andy I can add: I-221. I-222, I-224 and I-225 designed in period 1942 - 1945. And it was the and of I-200 family I guess. MiG-9 (MiG-3 M82 and propably MiG-3 M82E) and MiG-3U were tested in combat conditions in i.e. 12 GIAP and 177IAP.
Very interesting modification of I-200 was IP-201 - the design of very heavily armoured fighter - 2xShKAS 7,62mm and 2xMP-3 20mm. Programme was halted in 1940.
I'm also sorry for being OT but it looks that this topic is about... MiG-3. And now we have mentioned, I think, all the names of prototypes and production fighters by Mikoyan and Gurievitch in 1940-1945.
