The I-i53 ahd a terrible reputation for the airflow blowing through the undercarriage well turning the cockpit into a blast furnace when the non-self sealing or armoured fuel tanks caught fire. It is because of this that Soviet pilots never felw with the canopy cover ftted, as they needed to escape in a hurry when hit. What exactly does this have to do with the yak/lag spitfire/hurricane?? or "cool name"??  |
Panzer, yet again you confuse me with completely random talk lol.
