MiG-3

[80 years ago today] "• The MiG-3, a high altitude development of the MiG-1, has its maiden flight. Neither aircraft will be particularly successful though 3,500 of both types will be built."

I always liked that photo, and I believe that's the first colorized one I saw, so bonus.

 

In different circumstances I could see that plane on an air racing circuit.

You have to admit, its survivability IS going to be better then the I-16......
