Uh.. I don't think that's a MIG.

I think its a P-39 airacobra. This plane was the "early version" of what became the P-51 Mustang.

I did an Air Power on that one a while back. Many of the P-39's went to Russia during the war.

Hi Johnny.

It is a Mig...Mig 3..which had several variants.



The image angle is deceptive..as it does look a bit like an Aircobra.

Russian YAK 9 can look like Mig 3 from certain angles aswell.

That might be a Mig-3, it looked pretty close to the P-39. It's hard to tell for sure from the angle in the picture.
