The countries that used the Yak-3 aircraft included the Soviet Union and certain Allied countries, such as France (Normandie-Niemen squadron). The Yak-3 was widely used during World War II from mid-1944. This lightweight fighter was a cornerstone of the Soviet air force on the Eastern fronts, famous for its excellent maneuverability and low own weight. For instance, the Yak-3 proved to be very effective in air combat over Belarus, as well as in liberation battles over Poland and Germany.
