Lawoczkin La-5 vol.II cover

La-5 - Soviet single-engine single-seat fighter from World War II. The plane was developed in the S.A. design office. Lavochkin as a development version and successor of the LaGG-3, a wooden low wing with an in-line engine. It was one of the best fighter planes of the Soviet aviation and the first to compete on an equal footing with the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.

Another super addition to this series by Kagero, lots of detail of the airframes themselves, plenty of archive images, and the text including both Russian and German reports on the aircraft which makes for interesting reading. * Military Model Scene *
The author goes into great detail describing the technological development of the type, and its engine, providing very intricate details of what went wrong during developmental testing, and how the problems were either ignored or solved. * IPMS USA 10/11/2022 *
