The Yak-23 'Flora' first flew on 8th July 1947 and proved very manoeverable. However, it was soon apparent that the straight-wing design made it inferior to the newly developed swept-wing fighters. This example is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
