The Yakovlev AIR-3 was a two-seat general aviation monoplane of the 1920s, designed and built by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev while he was a student at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy. It resembled his earlier AIR-2 biplane but had a strut-braced high parasol wing and a 60 hp Walter NZ-60 radial piston engine. Readers of the newspaper Pionerskaya Pravda paid for its construction, and the aircraft carried that name. On 6 September 1929 it flew non-stop from Mineralnye Vody to Moscow, setting two light aircraft world records, and it led to the AIR-4 and AIR-8 variants.
