Praise

The La-5 is a Soviet single-engine single-seat fighter from World War II. The plane was developed in the S.A. design office. Lavochkin as a development version and successor of the LaGG-3, a wooden low wing with an in-line engine. It was one of the best fighter planes of the Soviet aviation and the first to compete on an equal footing with the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.

"The author goes into great detail describing the technological development of the type, and its engine, providing very intricate details of what went wrong during developmental testing, and how the problems were either ignored or solved." ~IPMS/USA

"There are also some large profiles, oddly most of which are of the earlier La-5F which along with all the nice period images, makes this a nice addition to one's library." ~ModelingMadness.Com

"...will undoubtedly be an asset to those choosing to model this nifty little monoplane fighter." ~Large Scale Planes

“Another super addition to this series by Kagero, lots of detail of the airframes themselves, plenty of archive images, and the text including both Russian and German reports on the aircraft which makes for interesting reading.” ~Military Model Scene
