Yakovlev Yak-14
The Yakovlev Yak-14 (Russian: Яковлев Як-14; NATO reporting name: Crow or Mare) was the largest assault glider ever to enter service with the Soviet Air Force. It was introduced in 1949, at a time when other air forces were abandoning the glider concept. In 1950 a Yak-14 became the first glider to fly over the North Pole.
