What does the LW identify as a Yak-7?
By this I mean what are the characteristics that makes a LW pilot identify an aircraft as a Yak-7? I assume the early cockpit configuration, similar to the Yak-1?
I was looking at the victory list of Heinz Ewald and he identifies bring down Yak-7 on 25/02/1944, 13/03/1944, 02/06/1944, 12/06/1944 and 01/11/1944. I assume there was no corroborating wreckage to definitely confirm the type. Assuming these could be Yak-7B but could they also be Yak-1 or LaGG-3? Just like I assume the ""Yak-11 is a Yak-3 and that Yak-9 are also likely to be Yak-1B or Yak-7DI. regards Keith |
