Album info

These images represents a LaGG-3 of the 3 Gv.IAP of Red Banner Baltic Fleet during the winter of 1942/43, east of Lake Ladoga.
It was flown by Capt. Igor Alexandrovich Kaberov, that was already a flight instructor before the war outbreak. At the date of the photo, he was deputy commander of an eskadrilya. He was awarded the Golden Star on July 24, 1943, after 8 personal and 18 shared victories. He remained in the service until 1960. He wrote a book about his wartime service, V pritsele svastika (Swastika in the gunsight).
The aircraft was probably of 35th series of 1942, and its characteristics are:

- rounded prop spinner for VISh-105SV propeller;
- triple exhaust stacks;
- 1 ShVAK 20 mm firing through the propeller shaft;
- 1 12,7 UB machine gun on the left side of the engine cowling, and relative holes on the left side of the cowling;
- engine cowling with fast lock and merged intake profile;
- engine side cowling panels divided by a vertical line under exhaust stacks front;
- no side plates behind the exhaust stacks;
- vertical slots in front of the windscreen;
- rectangular supercharger intakes;
- long radio mast;
- angled rudder hinging line;
- modified elevators with modified hinge line and wider trimmers;
- wider water cooler inlet;
- water cooler outlet on the fuselage without any step;
- retractable tail wheel with bulged doors;
