Yakovlev Yak-7 itu apa sih?

Soviet Yakovlev Yak-7 dikembangkan dari sebelumnya tempur Yak-1, awalnya sebagai seorang pelatih sayap rendah (low wing) tetapi diubah menjadi tempur "berat". Baik sebagai pejuang dan kemudian kembali kepada peran pelatihan aslinya, Yak-7 terbukti menjadi pesawat mampu dan sangat disukai oleh awak udara.

Yak-7 adalah sederhana, tangguh dan umumnya lebih baik daripada Yak-1.
