[Brunner]

Hi guys,

I am in a need of detailed yak 9 photos: ones of cockpit, gunsight, engine mounting, radiators and especially flaps.

Damn I thought I had more than this, sorry...

Thanks CC.
This photo will be very helpful, but I am also looking for one of yak's flaps. I cannot find a good shot and tried almost everywhere

Would a screenshot from a game be satisfactory? I could get some detailed shots from IL2 FB.

Also just found this site, some nice diagrams. http://mkmagazin.almanacwhf.ru/avia/yak_9_mk7605.htm

If you are able to make some REALLY detailed shots from il2, I would be very very very grateful.

We took some pictures of Yak9s at a airshow once. Would those be ok?

Thanks Flyboy.

What a strange canopy isn't it?

Taken from some training plane?

I believe those are UTIs built from original tooling and imported into the US. There are several flying around the US. I think the canopy is a modification and the engine is an Allison (like on a P-38 or P-40)

Here are some photos of a yak I took back in 1999 in Queensland. I hope they help.

[Brunner]

Thanks wildcat. They're great, especially the second one - it gives me some hints about the landing gear.

 

[Wildcat]

No worries mate, glad I could help!

Does any of you, mates, have some photos or drawings (profiles) of yak 9 in German or Finnish markings (of course if there were any)?
The Jerries surely captured number of those planes, but I couldn't find any pics by myself
