hello RR
welcome on board!
Reading the informative site by M.Bykov -
http://avia-hobby.ru/publ/soviaps/101_150iap.htmlwe could see that the regiment in service first had I-153 a/c. Then on June 1941 transfered to Mig-3. On August 1941 to Lagg-3. December 1942 -> La-5 and on January 1945 took over La-7.
The 129 IAP became a Guard on 6th of December 1941.
Is there anything in particular what makes you interested on this IAP? Just wonder!
Here you are, perhaps one of the famous nowdays veteran and ace of 5GIAP and thanks to allmighty still between us-
