Nice photo - you can see how robust and damage resistant even the wooden part of the I-16 structure was. In general, ~40% of the I-16 wing had metal skin covered with canvas. This airplane is considered by many to be a "wooden plane", which is little true.

Actually the three first pics above show the mix of the Lavochkin fighters of the 1st Czechoslovak Mixed Air Division, 1945. For instance .. in the first pic ( going from the right ) the "89" also seen in the second image, is the La-5FN then the "93" and "11" are the La-7 and then the "48, 95, 78" are the La-5FN.
The last image in the post shows the La-5. IMHO it is the La-5 "White 60" of General Major Yevgenii Yakovlevich Savitskii, commander of the 3rd IAK (Fighter Air Corp) on the Kuban front in May 1943.

Another mystery. According to the book "Air Battle Over the Baltic 1941" by Mikhail Timin, the Baltic Military District in 1941 had no Pe-2s at all - not only in Mitava.
