The Soviet State Industries began producing the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 for the Red Army Air Force in 1941. Designed by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich it had a maximum speed of 407 mph (655 km) and had a range of 510 miles (820 km). It was 26 ft 9 in (8.15 m) long with a wingspan of 33 ft 9 in (8.15 m). The aircraft was armed with three machine-guns and carried 440 lb (200 kg) of bombs. Along with the Lavochkin LaGG-3 it helped the Soviet Union gain air supremacy on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.

We old prisoners knew that the Germans did not like these irregularities and that something would soon happen to reduce our number.
