The Yakovlev YAK-1 was a Russian fighter used during World War II. In 1943 the YAK was trim little planes, and the best Soviet-made vehicle in the air force. While trapped in the past, Pavel Chekov was assigned to lead a squadron of YAK-1 fighters on a mission to escort a B-24 Liberator. The Liberator was piloted by John Kirk and carrying American diplomat Averell Harriman to London via Sweden. Chekov's YAK-1 was shot down over the Baltic sea. (TOS novel: Home is the Hunter)

  • The Yakovlev Yak-1 was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft. Produced from early 1940, it was a single-seat monoplane with a composite structure and wooden wings. The Yak-1 was extremely manoeuvrable, fast and well armed, and, just as importantly, it was easy to maintain and reliable. It formed an excellent basis for subsequent developments from the Yakovlev bureau. In fact it was the founder of a family of aircraft, with some 37,000 being built. As a reward, designer Alexander Yakovlev was awarded the Order of Lenin (Russian: Орден Ленина, Orden Lenina) - the highest decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union - a 100,000 ruble prize, plus a Zis motor car.
  • The Yak-1, like many other Soviet fighters, was very reliable in the field and this allowed it to remain in combat without having to be repaired in a factory. Furthermore, the relatively quick turning rate of the Yak-1, at around 17 seconds for a 360 degree turn aided the fighter in its combat against opposing German aircraft. Another attribute was that, like its fellow Soviet aircraft, it was also very efficient at operating at low altitude. Considering how almost all air conflicts on the Eastern Front were below 5000 meters, the Yak-1 was very much in its environment of choice.
