The Yakovlev Yak-3 is considered one of the best World War 2 fighters,
invariably praised by those who flew it in combat for its remarkable
performance. The Germans also treated it with respect, which is perhaps
best illustrated by Generalleutnant Walter Schwabedissen's remark: The
Yak-3 was a tough nut to crack for our pilots. It outperformed our
machines in speed, maneuverability and rate of climb.
