The Yak-3 was a Soviet fighter aircraft widely used during World War II (years 1944–1945), especially on the Eastern Front. It was renowned for its exceptional maneuverability and low empty weight. This aircraft was an important element of the Soviet fighter aviation and participated, among others, in Operation Bagration and the Battle of Berlin. The main user was the USSR, but units were also operated by French pilots from the Normandie-Niemen squadron.
