#588, what is the first plane?

It's a captured Russian Lavochkin La -5FN at Reichlin. Test pilot Luftwaffe Hans-Werner Lerge.

I found a great forum on Russian aircraft, as long as one doesnt mind the translation. But some of the stats for this aircraft are quite remarkable if true.... I know one thing, thats a huge lump up front!

Lagg 5 or 7 I would say.

Yes, La-5
