Yakovlev Yak-15:
The Yakovlev Yak-15 was an early Soviet jet fighter, and the lightest operational jet fighter ever built. It retained the wings, tail-wheel undercarriage, rear fuselage, and tail unit of the all-metal piston-engined Yak-3U. It was powered by a copy of the German axial-flow Junkers Jumo 004B turbojet engine, designated RD-10. The powerplant was installed in the nose with the exhaust under the wing. In this way, pilots were given an easy introduction to jet engines. NATO reporting name - "Feather"[1], USAF/DoD reporting name - "Type 2"[2].
About 280 were built.
