Yak 3 / Yakolev 3 / Russian fighter - 750_LeBourget; this example is the last of the famed Normandie-Niemen fighter group. 40 of the Yak-3s were flown to France by a grateful Stalin. The 40 were eventually cannibalized for spares for surviving Yaks as their numbers dwindled. This is the last surviving Yak-3 of the Normandie-Niemen group and also the only Yak-3 outside of Russia.
