Can any one tell me any details they might have as to the Lagg-5 flow by the Soviet VVS ace Lydia Litvyak durring the battle of Stalingrad.

The Yak 1 yellow 44 and Yak 1b white 23 are offten shown in photos and ilistrations but I have not been able to confirm the number used on her Lagg-5 durring this critical period.


Thank You

Hello, I have been studying Soviet Airwomen in the past 15 months, actually I am writing a book about them and I NEVER found any evidence that Lydia ever flown a Lavochkin Lagg-5... she ALWAYS flew Yak-1 and a source states that her plane number was not 44 or 23. Best regards
