Description
The Soviet La-5 fighter was developed by the Lavochkin Design Bureau as a further development of the LaGG-3. Due to declining performance of production aircraft and a shortage of liquid-cooled engines, the aircraft was threatened with discontinuation. Thanks to the prompt work of the designers, the fighter was equipped with an M-82 air-cooled engine. The aircraft demonstrated excellent performance and entered production at Plant No. 21 in Gorky in the summer of 1942. The aircraft entered service before the Battle of Stalingrad. During production, the design was regularly modified. Pilots highly praised the La-5, which allowed it to compete on equal terms with new German fighters.
