The plane was called "P?re magloire" because of the region he came from: the normandie. very patriotic, he used to fallow the war progress putting little flags in a map. He was one of the few NN pilot's sensible to comunist ideologie. In the beginning of the second campaign, he landed his plane in flame and was heavily burned. He died in thee hospital the 5 of june 1944 the day before the allied debarquement in his own land, the normandie... a friend of mine did the model of this plane: (http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/766052oney100032.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=766052oney100032.jpg) Xan Title: Re: Nice Yak-9s Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 15, 2012, 05:14:45 PM Hi Xan,
