Interestingly, apart from the YAK-15, the only other jet converted from a prop-driven aircraft to see service was the Saab 21R of 1947.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-42214231325305976282011-12-12T12:48:51.287+00:002011-12-12T12:48:51.287+00:00Bob
