A WWII Russian squadron of fighter planes at the German front (subtitled). I've already watched a few episodes and it's free with ads

I enjoyed those a couple years ago. Was interesting to see a different perspective.

Yes I thought so as well.

They also flew the Bell P-39 Airacobra made in Niagara Falls. Many were flown thru Canada and transferred to the Russians at Ladd Field in Fairbanks AK, later renamed Ft Wainwright where I was stationed 1968-70.

The Niagara Falls Air Museum has a P-39Q that was recovered from a Russian lake:

I knew they flew some P39's but I thought they were flying Yak's in this? For sure Yak 3's in the 3rd series.

My mistake, you are correct and I amended my post.
