Here are some photos that I have collected, but that I couldn't turn into profiles
till now because of the lack of sufficient informations.
85 of 863 iap
|
This image shows a plane of 863 iap of 8 iak, whose planes were characterized by white tails. The bort number looks 85 or 95. Few is visible, the plane is thought to be painted with grey/grey camouflage. The cowling looks glossy,but with a blurried outline, suggesting that it could be repainted or made glossy with some polish. Image via A. Ruchkovsky. |
Postwar shot of a La-7 of 14 GIAD, 3 GIAK. The uniformly dark uppersurfaces (unknown if green or grey) are shining, a sure indication that th plane was repainted. The Guards emblem on the tail replaces the usual large red star. The number is covered, leaving to see only a white dot. |
