I`d like to know about the plane`s wartime service. I have found that 6 of theese aircraft + IK-3b prototype (flown by Milisav Semiz) had claimed 14 German aircraft shot down during the 12-day April war (invasion of Yugoslavia). Any confirmations or denials? Has somebody got a German losses record for comparisson?

Wing loading
Your wing loading has been calculated with the empty aircraft weight. No plane can fly empty, without the pilot and fuel and some ammunition may be useful as well. Please correct this. The loading has been in the 145kg/m² range. This is relevant to the maneuverability of the plane; an important number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.17.208 (talk) 11:42, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
Top speed
Top speed stated in the Specifications section seems simply wrong. For two reasons: 1. There is a reference to the following publication in both "Design and Development" section and and "Specifications", with contradicting information: Oštrić, Šime I.; Janić, Čedomir J. (1973). "IK Fighters (Yugoslavia: 1930–40s)". In Cain, Charles W.; Windrow, Martin. Aircraft in Profile. 241–246 13. Windsor, Berkshire: Profile Publications. pp. 169–193.
- The listed speed is the sea-level speed, perhaps it should be the maximum speed at height? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:29, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Have substituted the max speed at height. No altitude is given. Thanks for picking up this error, sorry I was a bit abrupt when you first made the edit. Regards, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:55, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the correction. Most Wikipedia articles on aeroplanes, (and in aeronautics field in general) do silently imply that top speed is actually altitude maximum speed (it is the norm), so for the sake of comparison (and also, as speed was one of the crucial performance factors for fighters of that era) this has been an important edit.
- No worries. Regards, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:03, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Similarity
When I first saw the side view of this model, I was struck by the general similarity to the
- I don't know much about the background to the P-51, but the designers of the IK-3 trained in France, so the closest match is probably the Dewoitine D.520. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:32, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
