| I visited the Khodinka museum in May of 1994. I noticed the Yak-52 (right) in nazi markings. No one could answer my questions as to why this airplane was marked the way it was. On May 9th, I got my answer. They were dedicating a new war memorial in Moscow. Part of the commeration was a "dogfight" between the Russians and nazi invaders. This Yak was to be the loser. I assume the Yak-55 (middle) and the other Yak-52 (left) would be the ones to save Mother Russia once again. I was at the dedication, I saw Boris Yeltsin, but I did not see the "dogfight". |
