That TB-3 photo is available on ebay.de right now (March 4/12) if anyone wants to buy it...  I saw it, saved it, and I was going to post it here, but I didn't get time! John |

Here's a good clear photo of a LaGG-3; not much is visible for markings or camouflage, but it does show some structural and other details:  John |

Hi John,
thank you for sharing it.
It looks a very early plane still unpainted. It's strange if the photo is of German source.
Regards
Massimo

Photo of Yak-7B of A.A. Matveev of 29 GvIAP:  I'm doubtful that this is an original photo, but on the other hand, I've never seen it before. Has anyone else seen it published anywhere? John |

Hi John,
it's a clear image. Thank you for sharing.
The camo pattern of Laggs is very standardized, and this follows the usual lines.
Regards
Massimo

Nice photo! I would say that these are static tests on a plane built in Z.30. It looks an early twoseater with straight wing and black-green camo, about the end of 1942 or the first half of 1943.

Massimo

German photo of Il-2 two-seater (personally, I haven't seen many of these - most Barbarossa photos seem to be single-seat aircraft):  John |

John, it seems that as the war dragged on, the Shturmovik quit being such an object of curiosity (and even humour) and instead became an object of dread. The number of German photographs of Shturmoviks drops off dramatically after 1941.
Regards,
Jason

Hi John and Jason,
this plane seems of the second half of 1943. It has the camo and marks introduced in August, but not the tall mast introduced in the fall of the same year.
Regards
Massimo

Thanks, Warhawk! That first one will take some time to look through, but I'll enjoy every minute!  John |
