Re: Soviet markings La-5/La-7
Hi Peter,
I have never seen black digits on a La-5, so if the drawing is correct, then it was made after an unknown photo of an unusual plane. (But I still doubt the red outline.) Based on No.14, the serial number could be like 3921xx14 from an unknown batch, where:
39 = Factory code of the La-5F/-FN fighter
21 = No. of Gorky factory (Factory No.21)
xx = batch no.
14 = plane in the batch no, - applied as factory marking.
(Same with plane No.96: 3921xx96)
Cheers,
Gabor
