Re: Sergei Glinkin La-5
Yes. ;-) La-5s, La-7s and Yak-3s all left assembly lines pre-numbered, which made the ground crews' lives easier on frontline airfields. They just had to apply regiment colors. It was a practical factory method to use the last 2 digits (or the plane No. within batch) numbers for markings. Style of numbers were factory specific, so these numbers tell a lot for authentic plane reconstruction and identification.
