I'm asking if you have any information about the Yak-7 of the 285th IAP during the Battle of Moscow. I'm specifically looking for information about the aircraft piloted by Francisco Meroño Pellicer, who was a friend of my grandfather since they met in 1938.
I've tried to contact Anton Petrov, who has studied his life in the Soviet Air Force (VVS) most extensively, but after several months of waiting, I haven't received a response.
My objective is to find out the aircraft's serial number and call sign. I already have information about the La-5F, the Il-16, and the MiG-3 he flyed, I'm only missing the Yak-7.
 
According to the soviet sources during the Battle of Moscow M.F. Pellicer was servicing in the 283th IAP but not 285th one. The unit used the Yak-7 from 25.06.1942 to 17.03.1943. So it should be Yak-7A version IMHO.
 
It was a slip of the tongue to confuse the 3 for the 5... my mistake... out of curiosity, did the plane have any kind of number or emblem or something... I wanted to make it as similar as possible to the one it had.
