Lavochkin La-5 seen in Wings of Russia.

The Lavochkin La-5 was a Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II. The design bureau fit its prédecessor Lavochkin LaGG-3 with a Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine in order to solve the problems of this original underpowered airframe. Quickly, after a thousand aircraft built, a new variant was produced with further upgrade (the most visible being the new canopy allowing a better rearward view). A fuel-injected engine, further lightening of the aircraft, and fixed slats to improve all-round performance gave the La-5FN. A dedicated two seats trainer version was named La-5 UTI. Despite its great number of airframes built from 1942 to the end of the war, only the Czechoslovakian Air Force was the operator outside USSR.

A total of 9,920 Lavochkin La-5 of all variants have been built.
