Description
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 was a Soviet fighter aircraft used during World War II. It was a development of the MiG-1 . The MiG-3 was difficult to fly in peacetime and much more so in combat. It had been designed for high-altitude combat but combat over the Eastern Front was generally at lower altitudes where it was inferior to the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 as well as most modern Soviet fighters. MiG-3s were delivered to front-line fighter regiments beginning in the spring of 1941 and proved to be a handful for pilots accustomed to the lower-performance and docile Polikarpov I-152 and I-153 biplanes and the Polikarpov I-16 monoplane. On 1 June 1941, 1,029 MIG-3s were on strength, but there were only 494 trained pilots.
Even with the MiG-3's limitations, Aleksandr Pokryshkin, the third-leading Soviet, and Allied, ace of the war, with 53 official air victories ( plus six shared ), recorded a number of those victories while flying a MiG-3 at the beginning of the war.
Manufacture MiG-3 have stopped in 1942, and total 3272 fighters of this type were built.
Special dedication for my friend Jean-Claude..He probably thinks that I forgot him...
