Photo © David Eyre This Yakovlev Yak-18 trainer was built in 1954 at Kharkov, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) and was gifted to the Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) by the Soviets. It was partly disassembled for transport and then reassembled at Nanchang in China, however it was not manufactured by Nanchang. After negotiations, Nanchang later assembled 324 of them under licence between 1954 and 1958 as the "Nanchang CJ-5" for use by the PLAAF, PLANAF and civilian flying clubs. This one is painted in Soviet Union DOSAAF markings. DOSAAF (Russian: ДОСААФ), (in English stands for: Volunteer Society for Cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Navy) was a paramilitary sport organisation in the Soviet Union, concerned mainly with weapons, automobiles and aviation.
