On November 25th, 1942 a Soviet-French treaty to create a French fighter squadron in the territory of the USSR was signed. Pilots asked that the squadron would be named “Normandie”. It took part in the battle of Kursk in 1943 and in the offensive in Belorussia in 1944, as well as battles in East Prussia. For its special services during the assault of Niemen the squadron received its respective second name.
During their service 96 French pilots made 5240 operational flights, had 273 confirmed and 36 unconfirmed victories. Four pilots became heroes of the Soviet Union while others also received numerous rewards.

For how long will the Yak.9 be aviable?
read the article
i was kinda hoping for Yak-3 or standard Yak-9 as a french premium as they were used in larger numbers, but i will grab this one for sentimental reasons as i read the book Normandie-Nemen like 5 times.. you got me again, Gaijin.. shame on me (((o=
Is it just me or is the camo not available on the Yak-3P?
i think it is but it is not called Normandie-Nemen i believe
my bad, they already corrected it - only yak-3
I thought the normandy niemen flew for the russian airforce and not for the french. Only the pilots were french.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandie-Niemen
SWIFT_SILENT, They were Free French Airforce who fought Nazis in Russia, but they were French pilots with French commanders.
why you didnt give us yak3……
nice
Are the cammo's for the Russian planes collectible to or are they here to stay?
thanks gaijin my own little snail^^ im really happy about this event even tho its not a plane you cant get for free:)
pretty sweet
Would be cool if it was discounted for black Friday, but i'm not complaining. Thanks!
Dude its already at a super cheap price for what you get, I mean $11 USD for a plane with a 37mm gun that fires nearly as fast as an MG? Its already a steal!
