Re: LaGG-3 markings for Nikolai Skomorokhov

Hello HGabor. I have seen some of your posts and am in awe of the information you have available to you and your knowledge of the subject.
I have seen the page you mention and, like you, suspect the LaGG picture is just a generic one, not at all related to Skomorokhov or his units.
Most pictures I have seen of LaGGs purporting to be from late 1942 and early 1943 have Russian stars with either no border or a black border. I thought the white border came later, and as N.S. was already in a La-5 by March 1943, his LaGG(s) would have had the earlier style markings.
But I am far from expert at this, so any advice here would be appreciated.
Thanks
