Exciting and somewhat sad to read about the hardship many people had to live thru at that time.
Give the hero a 100 gram from us all next time you see him and please keep posting.

Brilliant read, we fly , I16's, Yaks and La 5's mostly in our virtual squadron and to read this was awe inspiring.

Very interesting, thanks!

— You were in a regiment, which was equipped with La-5s or La-5FNs?

La-5FN appeared only by the end of war.

and one question to this:

— Your La-5 had a gargrot, or you canopy was already droplet-like?

With gargrot…

==> What is a gargrot? Does it mean the tail is shaped like original LaGG-3?

[FPSOlkor]

Gargrot is a fuselage section that lies behind canopy, and actually is a part of the fuselage that obscures view to the rear. Me-109 had a gargrot, while La-7 did not.
