Summary
| Description |
c/n unknown. One of only two genuine La-7s known to survive, this famous aircraft is the actual machine flown by Soviet ace Ivan Kozhedub, and as such it is a very significant airframe. Kozhedub is regarded as the best Soviet ace of WW2, having a natural gift for deflection shooting. In 330 combat missions he took part in 120 engagements and scored 62 victories including an Me-262. The scheme is popular on both warbirds and museum aircraft, but this is the real thing! While the aircraft itself is original, there has been much debate about the accuracy of the colour scheme. As an exhibit, it has certainly worn this scheme since first seen at Monino in the early 1970's. It is on display in Hangar 6A (the first new hangar near the entrance) at the Central Air Force museum, Monino, Moscow Oblast, Russia. 27th August 2017 |
