ON THE COVER: This “new build” Yak-3 banks in tight for the magical camera lens of John Dibbs. When this photo was taken it was part of the So-Cal Wing of the Commemorative Air Force in California and was recently resold by Platinum Fighter Sales to a new collector. It is painted in the Normandy- Niemen Group markings of “White 6,” the fi ghter of French ace Marcel Albert. (Photo by John Dibbs/ Facebook.com/ theplanepicture)
