Guess it’s a YAK-3M.
‘A number of Yak-3s have been newly manufactured by Yakovlev for the warbird market using the original plans and dies. These are powered by Allison V-1710 engines and have the designation Yak-3M.’

Ok Mike,
the lower wing has only a size of 64.3 % compared with the upper wing surface
– or –
the lower wing surface is smaller 35.7% than the upper wing surface. 😉

Upper wing span 18.18m (59ft 8in), lower 14.24m (46ft 9in)
Upper wing area 43.5qm (468.7sq ft), lower 28.0qm (301.2 sq ft)
Guess it’s a DH60GM GIPSY MOTH
Maybe this could be a trace….
‘NC916M was to become the next star of many movies: I’ve Been There Before, produced in 1956; The Spirit of St. Louis, 1957; The Tarnished Angels, 1958; a television series called Camp Runamuck; A Guide for the Married Man, 1957; television commercials for Dodge; and finally a television series called The Bear Cats in 1971.’

Martin, you’ve just pointed Avi at his own site 🙂
Oops, sorry 🙁
Avi,
this is a first attempt.
You can find on this site all 12 Beech 65B.80 with the c/n and military regs and 5 pics – but no indication to the civil regs.
