very nice pages. Plane 33 of Golubev is a La-5FN, not a La-7; the white areas on the tail of these types were different as visible on the photos after this. I think that the serial should confirm this. The La-7 of Golubev at that date was not numbered 33, as visible on one photo. There is a chance that it was plane 70 visible aside the La-5FN and the Li-2, and that this photo was taken during the ceremony of the first delivers of La-7 to this unit. Title: Re: 1 GIAD VMF Post by: PG monster on November 16, 2022, 04:20:39 AM Yes №33 maybe not a plane of Golubev, but most likely it's the La7, because this is the same photosession with 3 previous photos at the pahe with the La7s. The date should be november 1944, because Tatarenko is here (served in the regiment during 2 months from november 1944) and the La7s delivered in november 1944 too. So the noses and the tiles aren't white yet.
But why rainbow& - I don't know... Title: Re: 1 GIAD VMF Post by: warhawk on September 16, 2023, 01:33:51 PM But why rainbow& - I don't know... To me it looks like a white vertical stabilizer with two red stripes, just heavily faded. |
