[edit] The war story

The combat story about engagement with Yaks and Las doesn't make sense. No two-seat Yak-9s were ever produced, which suggests that the target was a Yak-11 (my references also cite a Yak-11 as the first air-air loss of the war). But could a Yak-11 with a mere 570 hp and a single machine gun really engage an F-82 and score hits on it unless the pilots were real buffoons? Or was there a Yak-9 attack followed by the Twin Mustang engaging a Yak-11? Can someone clarify this? - Emt147 Burninate! 04:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
