Title: sharkmouth LaGG-3 of 156 IAP
Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 11, 2018, 08:07:31 AM
Hi all,
there is an interesting photo of a LaGG-3 with sharkmouth:
(http://scalemodels.ru/images/2018/03/1520715107_28959283_1921465597865080_781546458760862821_n.jpg)
The link is on http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=740 (http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=740)
where they give a link to another page where there is a better photo of the same plane:
http://female-heroes.mil.ru/ (http://female-heroes.mil.ru/)
The second image itself is not easy to be linked, but can be found browsing those of the 156 IAP.
The plane looks of 1943 production, unfortunately only the nose is well visible and the bort number is unknown.
There are other photos of planes of the same unit without the sharkmouth, so it had to be an individual mark.

I vaguely remember a profile of EP with a sharkmouth attributed to the NN regiment, but this doesn't seem the case. Besides his profile was of a plane with 37 mm gun.

Regards
Massimo

Hi,
thank you for the photo.
I've tried to darken the visible piece of the rear of the fuselage. I think to see something of the number. It could be 12.
On this photo one can see some light spot on the tail, I wonder if it is anything significant but it is very blurried.
I don't think to see anything on the photo showing the other side of the tail.
I wonder if anything is known on this plane from written sources or memoirs.
Regards
Massimo

This aircraft commandant 156 Guards IAP p / p Egorova AS. He died on 30.09.43.
On September 31, 1943, his deputy Dolgushin SV was appointed in his place.

156 The GIAP was equipped with LaGG-3 aircraft from 17.02.41. Since 01.11.43 it was rearmed on La-5

Hi,
thank you for the informations.
The predecessor of Dolgushin, then. So he didn't write memoirs. I wonder if the number of his plane is written anywhere.

Massimo

Quite an interesting exhaust pipe arrangement on that last photo.
What type would two pipes on each side of cowling denote?


Title: Re: sharkmouth LaGG-3 of 156 IAP
Post by: Johann on March 11, 2018, 10:30:25 PM
Judging by the shadows, they are there as expected - 3

Yes, a bit misaligned, but 3 pipes.

Hi,
I've darkened the detail of the fuselage side and I think to see something well compatible with a number 12.

(http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/lagg3/sharkmouth1b.jpg)

Any thoughts?

It can also be 12 like 10,13,16,18,19...

Hi,
yes, but there is a small dark area that let seem that the upper part of the second digit is open. It could be a defect of the photo, or it could be real. If it is real, it can be 2 only.

Is there any link to his biography on the web?
Is there anything useful on this document in Russian? I can't translate it.

In a nutshell, this is a list of awards, reward reports and lists of awards for the 6th Air Army of the North Pillar Front

Specifically on the biography of Yegorov, the AU has not found anything yet. Although there is a repeated mention of him. There are reports on the actions of the 156th IAA from 41 to 46 years.

I see. Being not an ace, he is not mentioned in sites on Soviet aces.
I wonder if to draw a profile with the data I have, and the hypothetical number 12.

I think that in the absence of more detailed photos and descriptions, this is entirely acceptable.

And most likely it is LaGG-3 29 series


Title: Re: sharkmouth LaGG-3 of 156 IAP
Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 14, 2018, 02:24:32 PM
What is the difference to 35 series?

What is the difference to 35 series?

Not exactly, not 22, but 29 series.
The difference with the 35th is that on the 35 series there was a cannon HC-37. There may come the 34th series. But the bypass of the oil cooler is more suitable for the 22nd-29th series. But the air intakes on the roof are more square that more suits the 29th series.

Hi,
if I remember well, the 37 mm gun was installed on planes of 34 serie. Well, maybe it was a spot installation on planes of different series. I wonder if the ventral glycol cooler intake was of the metallic type.

In any case, a very gentle cut of the oil cooler is visible from the photo. What is NOT characteristic for the 30 series.

Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 14, 2018, 09:43:50 PM
I've the impression that there are doors on the tail wheel, but the image is very blurry.

Are you shure about date of his death?

Data was taken from Wikipedia on 156 GIAP. I did not invent anything myself.
Then the riddle - if Yegorov did not die, then why did his deputy take his place and where did his plane go?

Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 09, 2018, 05:45:21 AM
I think to understand that he was promoted as division commander. I wonder if it was the same division of 156 IAP.
Good question about the plane, if he took it as his personal one or left it in the regiment to another pilot.
