Thanks for this episode! 
Nice infos around the soviet planes in that era!

Good english by the way, keep it coming and thanks :)

The list of piston engine aircraft left out the F-82 and the F7F (both would likely make very popular collector aircraft)! Also, a few others such as the STOLL transports (An-2, L-20A/DHC-2) and the Sea Fury / Firefly.

 

On another note: There seems to be a lot of confusion between the Yak-9P (1943) and the Yak-9P (VK-107 1946)... and I was wondering if this extends to the armament? Most online sources state that the Yak-9P could take larger motor cannons, use the B-20 cannon, or even have three ShVAK... is any of this accurate? How were they actually equipped?

Per VikS in the video, it will be armed with two UBS machine guns and one ShVAK cannon.

That is what I gathered! I suppose no field mods? But I'm still curious as to where the confusion (in most sources) comes from! :)

No, doesn't sound like any field mods - pretty much the plane as it was built in the USSR with one or two instrument mods.
