This site is a joint 
venture of several 
air enthusiasts 
from Minsk. For some 
years we edited and 
published  the only 
aviation magazine 
in Belarus - the "AeroPlan". 
But present situation is
 such,  that we find it 
better to carry out our 
beloved job in virtual 
space.

Yak-9T of I.N.Stepanenko

Another aircraft of I.N.Stepanenko, this time Yak-9T, which he received in Summer 1943. The aircraft was photographed on Baltic Front, 4th iap, 20th sad. Two pictures of this plane were published, one depicting spinner with yellow band, another - rear part of the aircraft with eagle, victory marks, stars on fuselage and fin.

The Order of Combat Red Banner, placed on the left side of cowling, was mentioned in the text. The number is not clearly visible on the photo, and most of all reminds "0", but at that time tac numbers starting with "0" were not common, so I presumed that it should be "9".
