Description
This title from MBI looks at the development of the La-5 from the LaGG-3 M-82 prototype, through the La-5 and La-5F to the ultimate (pre La-7), La-5FN version of the aircraft and at the training and experimental versions accruing from it. The profile also covers operational service with the Soviet Air Forces and its use by their Czechoslovak allies, especially during the Slovak National Uprising of 1944. Post-war use by the newly reconstituted Czechoslovak Air Force is also covered.
The book includes a discussion of the controversial subject of Soviet Wartime camouflage and markings as applied to the La-5 and also looks at the colour schemes used post-war by the Czechoslovaks. A technical analysis of the aircraft rounds of this profile.
