The Lavochkin fighters remain little known in the West, although
with the Yakovlev fighter series they were the backbone of the Red
Air Force fighter force during the Second World War. The author
rectifies that with this comprehensive history of these fighters.
With this book he describes in great detail the three main variants
of the Lavochkin fighter series during the Second World War: the
only partially successful LaGG-3 inline-engined fighter, the
successful radial-engined La-5 fighter, and the superb radial
engined La-7 fighter, one of the best piston-engined fighter
aircraft of the entire Second World War. Both the design and
history of these fighters are featured, including how the mediocre
inline engined LaGG-3 was turned into a top notch fighter by the
replacement of the Klimov inline engine by the Shvetsov M-82 radial
engine. Besides describing the wartime designs he includes a
section on the postwar successors to the Second World War fighters,
the completely new all metal La-9 and La-11, which saw extensive
postwar service. Accurate color profiles illustrate all variants.
