Yak-9U caption translation
Could one of our Russian friends please translate the text in this picture for me?
I believe it makes reference to Fyodor Chubukov. I would in particular like to know if it states whether he flew this a/c. Many thanks Peter |

Re: Yak-9U caption translation
Thank you Peter! So there were 4 similar a/c, no doubt with 4 different numbers and perhaps 4 different slogans. Now to find the others ....
Thanks again Peter |

Re: Yak-9U caption translation
Hi Peter,
The aircrafts had airborne numbers 14, 16, 22 and 09. The emblem of the "Deer" during the ceremonial transfer of aircrafts was only on one plane. Best regards, Kirill |

Re: Yak-9U caption translation
Thanks Kirill.
2 sources show red 14 with the deer, so hopefully that is correct. Can anyone help with who the other 3, nos 14, 16 and 09, were allocated to? Thanks Peter |
