Re: Luftwaffe reports on downed Lavochkins

The main difference between La-5FN and La-7 was a metal spar and this was the reason of the new designation. Otherwise it would have been called like La-5FNb or something like that.
Now we are moving into the realm of Polish contrafactual history and I dare not go there!

Frankly, it often looks so awful, the one does not want to touch it!
And yet you keep it in your house! Better hire an interior decorator!

Both Kingcobras and Spitfires were in Soviet service in the early 1950s, long time after Soviet designs were phased out.
LOL!

Kingcobra, while tested against ultimate Yak-9P turned superior, still being much older design.
A better turner, hence a better fighter! Ahh, now I see where you are going with this. The ultimate fighter of WWII was the PZL 7/11. Of course!

I wonder if other Polish contributers on this board agree with Franek's opinions of Soviet aircraft?
