Jak - LaGG 😕

[@RobertoMattes]

@Arg0n01 Yes! at Exactly 7:40 is YAK 1-B, I was referring to the description that folow it, that starts at 7:54. :)
That description is about the LaGG's not about the YAK's.
You can see that trougth pictures.
The aircraft in the picture hasn't a bubble canopy, no version of the YAK had't a bubble canopy...

[@Arg0n01]

@RobertoMattes it's a Yak-1b. The shape of the tail and the non streamlined oil cooler at the bottom are tell-tale signs of the Yak fighters in general, also, notice the chin oil radiator intake. The aircraft in the picture also has a bubble canopy, no version of the LaGG had a bubble canopy...

[@RobertoMattes]

Is not the YAK-1B at 7:40, is a LaGG modification, yo can confirm that trougth pictures.

[@romanp3621]
