The Yakovlev Yak-7 (Russian: Яковлев Як-7; NATO reporting name: Mark)[2] was developed from the earlier Yak-1 fighter, initially as a trainer but converted into a fighter. As both a fighter and later reverting to its original training role, the Yak-7 proved to be a capable aircraft and was well liked by air crews. The Yak-7 was simpler, tougher and generally better than the Yak-1.[3]
