Hi,

I think only one in October 1944.

Hello Kris99,

I've heard about that kill and wondered if this is his only Ya-3 kill.
I think his possible maximum Yak-3 total might be as high as 5 as I found all his other kills except four.

Have a nice Tuesday,

Michael

Gen.Maj. Georgii Nefedovich Zakharov flew Yak-3, S/N: 310147 (the 47th Yak-3 of batch no.01 from Tbilisi, factory no.31), White '1' as commander of 303 IAD.

Hello Gabor,

do you how if he scored more than on victory in it ?

Cheers,

Sorry, no idea.

One interesting thing is that all accounts (I've read) from French pilots of GC 3 (which was part of 303 IAD) claims he flew a Lavochkin fighter but russian sources (with photos) show that he flew a Yak. Someone else noticed that ?

Dear Alfred&Co,

no that was new to me.
One of the best available Zakharov victory logs is this one:

Can anybody of you fill in some of the gaps ?

There also is his word on which aircrafts he flew...

Hello Kirill,

thanks for the link.
My Russian isn't sufficient to discern if that article reveals Zakharov's Yak-3 score.
Does it ?

Have a nice evening,

Michael
