The title says "French aircraft", but my money's on the Yak-2 or -4 with this one... source HERE

Hi, I agree on the type. This is very sharp and shows how the lodge for the hood was made. This type seems to have a removable pilot's hood, not sliding, folding or what else. Only the hood for the gunner is of usual type and can be shown when opened (on other images I mean) Regards Massimo

Thanks for the confirmation. I suppose the cylindrical object above the instrument panel is a head- or chin-rest, made from leather. I am not sure if the gun-sight installation is complete on this picture, probably "visited" by souvenir hunters.
Regards, Aleksandar

I don't know. Here there is a point protruding outside the windshield. Two points are an aiming device by themselves. Anyway it could be the same plane. I haven't found photos showing more devices till now, but removing it could have been a way to inabilitate left planes to be combat ready. Regards Massimo

Hi, very nice plane. No, it seems that it was a funny camo and the plane was flown by Germans, then damaged in some landing accident. JG 53 "PIK ASS Regards Massimo

A lagg-3 with interesting winter camo, perhaps silver:
Probably silver (metallic alluminium powder) often added to whitewash to get it stronger. Take a look at Sorokin's MiG : http://ava.org.ru/iap/2gm.htm
