Hi Vedran, this photo is new for me, it looks one of the most beautiful LaGG ever. Thank you for sharing it. Is there any further information on this? Regards Massimo

Yes, that is nice - a good Christmas present - thank you, Vedran! I wonder what colour those stripes are on the rudder and fuselage? Carrying RS82 rockets, too - it would be a good subject for a model, although, as usual, there are some "heroes" posing in front of it to hide the details that would help identify the series number!

Another interesting photo popped up on VK: "Commander of the 13th Air Force Fighter Regiment of the Baltic Fleet, Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Georgievich Romanenko at his I-16 type 18 (or 24) with white hull number 71."

I think the signature is incorrect, the I-16 has a typical Far Eastern camouflage. I mean that maybe the person in the photo is signed correctly, but the plane is definitely from the Far East, and not from the Baltic Fleet.

Ah, so this is Aranov, the photo is not his, as usual he rested from somewhere, and the source did not indicate. He is not a researcher, but a copy-paste compiler. here I started a discussion https://www.facebook.com/groups/2219850264895329/permalink/2776244855922531/And another plane appeared in the Far East camouflage in the wrong place

So, if the Facebook machine translation was correct, Romanenko was sent to Far East as a punishment?

Yes. By order of the People's Commissar of the USSR Navy, Admiral N. G. Kuznetsov, dated February 14, 1942, No. 0127, Colonel I. G. Romanenko. for "self-removal from the leadership of the brigade regiments, as a result of which the 3rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment suffered significant losses in personnel and materiel. The picture shows Romanenko in presumably 1942 in the aviation of the Pacific Fleet, in the Primorsky Region, 17 IAP. Heh, you can't drink the experience!

Interesting, we can vaguely see something of the air intake filter that had a tapered net area on its rear, while postwar planes had a more or less rectangular one.

Interesting, it seems to have glossy paints, and the light color wraps irregularly the star on the tail.

Makes sence, as it was a rush-job. Btw good job on catching the tail star, I completely missed it.

Nice photographs! I especially like those two I-16s.
