Yakovlev Yak-1
The Yakovlev Yak-1 was a World War II Soviet fighter
aircraft. Produced from early 1940, it was a single-seat
monoplane with a composite structure and wooden wings
The Yak-1 was extremely manoeuvrable, fast and well
armed,and, just as importantly, it was easy to maintain
and reliable. It formed an excellent basis for subsequent
developments from the Yakovlev bureau. In fact it was
the founder of a family of aircraft, with some 37,000
being built. As a reward, designer Alexander Yakovlev
was awarded the Order of Lenin - the highest decoration
bestowed by the Soviet Union - a 100,000 ruble prize,
plus a Zis motor car
