La-5FN, white "14"

Hi Folks,

can any of you tell me in which factory has Ivan Kozhedub's (24O. IAP), later Kirill Yevstigneev's (178. GvIAP) very famous white "14", "От колхозника КOHEBA Василия Викторовича" Lavochkin La-5FN fighter been built? Camouflage pattern could refer to the factory. It had to be either Zavod 21, or Zavod 381. This is important, since if the factory was Moscow 21, then the plane serials were 3921??14, if factory was 381, then plane serials were 381??14. (I need the serials.)

Yevstigneev bellied this plane in on February 17, 1945. (Where, on which airfield did this happen?) After this incident Yevstigneev received his new, white "95" La-7 fighter.

Thanks,

Gabor
