In your book did it think the YAK-3 was better than the YAK-7? I kind of thought that the number sequence indicated a better plane than the previous design.
I remember the follow on from the -7 was the YAK-9. It had a limited production run in the late 90's for the warbird market with an Allison engine. Performance similar to the Mustang at about 20% of the hull value.

Caproni CA36.

I have no idea how to count wing struts does that include the interplane struts? no Idea same with bays realy difficult to interpret bays in a biplane. Maybe there is some book for that.
BTW: In my last quiz conventional gear is a tail drager,
Non Conventional is a nose drager.

According to the book, the sequence was:
Yak 1
The Yak 7 was derived from that.
Yak 9 followed. "Outwardly it differed little from its predecessor yet it featured a host of improvements" and "Of all the fighter types operated by the Red Army Air Force, the Yak 9 was built in the greatest numbers."
Yak 3 was the last and as you thought, was the best performing.  And there were also a radial powered Yak 3M prototypes.

I could not find the reference, but I seem to remember reading that all three (3, 7, and 9) were developed from modified 1s.  The 3 took the longest to develop because they kept making modifications as they learnt from the others.

Sparky, by my count the Caproni has at least 18 wing struts and TWO tail skids and would count as a 3 or even 4 bay design!

Albrecht, that de Bruyere CI is one seriously funking airplane!    Actually when you look at the 3-view the design seems amazingly modern.  Not the one I'm thinking of though.
