spy plane, produced in 1941-1944. One of the three new-generation fighter aircraft, taken into service before
the war (The other two - the MiG-3 and Yak-1).
The name stands for the last names of designers Lavochkin, Gorbunov, Gudkov.
Positive qualities: powerful weapons in the first series, long life, minimum use of scarce
materials - the basic material of pine and plywood impregnated with resin - delta-wood availability of manufacturing technology.



Lavochkin La-5 - single-engine monoplane fighter. Single, with enclosed cockpit, wooden frame with a cloth
paneling and wooden spars kryla.Pervye serial planes began to go off the assembly line in July 1942.
Initially, La-5 was armed with two automatic 20 mm gun ShVAK, which are placed in front of the fuselage
over the engine. Instrumentation was very meager. The aircraft did not even have a single gyroscopic device,
such as the artificial horizon or gyro. If you compare La-5, with the same aircraft in Germany, the UK or
The United States, it may seem that technically it is much inferior to them. However, his qualities, he is quite lёtnym
It meets the requirements of the time. Besides its simple design, no need for complex maintenance
and has low take-off field - making it ideal for the conditions in which the parts had to act

Thus TB-7 for the first time, earlier than in the United States and Britain, were raised 5-ton bombs. Pe-8 used in the strategic bombing to force Finland out of the war in 1944. In a number of cases of TB-7 used for strikes against targets in the front line, in particular, Pe-8 extensively used in the Battle of Kursk. Pe-8 and only once were used for the daily bombardment, but in spite of the successful performance of combat missions, both cars received a number of combat damage that this practice abandoned. Combat application Pe-8 was discontinued in late 1944, resulting in massive problems with the strength of the airframe. Serial production was discontinued in 1945, instead of it entered service with the Soviet Union Tu-4.

He participated in the battles in all theaters of World War II and the war on Yaponiey.Atakuet with shaving flight at altitudes of 15-50 m, low height, high angular velocity and the terrain had to protect the aircraft from the fire anti-aircraft guns in while armor protects him from enemy small arms fire
infantry.



IL-10 - the final attack of the Great Patriotic War design Ilyushin Design Bureau. Created in 1944 by a deep modernization of the IL-2, the fighting began on April 16, 1945. Serial production lasted five years. Total production in 4600 fighting the IL-10 and 280 of training Wil-10.



And now our opponents

Messerschmitt Bf.109 - single-engine piston fighter nizkoplan standing on the Luftwaffe before and during World War II. It was used as a fighter, interceptor, high-altitude fighter, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance plane. By the number of produced cars (as of April 1945 - 33 984 pcs.) Is the most popular fighter aircraft in history. The share Bf.109 account for 57 percent of all aircraft manufactured by Germany-Germany istrebiteley.Bf.109 used in all theaters of war, almost all German Asa began their journey is a fighter Bf 109s



Messerschmitt Bf.110 - twin-engine heavy fighter strategic (Zerstorer) in the service of the Luftwaffe during World War II. Due to the inability to use for its intended purpose was renamed the fighter-bomber and night istrebitel.Bf 110 was first used during the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. The aircraft was widely used during the aggression against Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Greece, Yugoslavia. Bf.110 used in North Africa, supported the insurgents in Iraq in May 1941 goda.Na Soviet-German front, these planes were used little. Basically, they were used as fighter-bombers. When attacking the aerial target success accompanied them only in surprise. If sprang up maneuver fight, the fighters Bf.110 lost even older types (the case when the summer of 1941 at Taganrog on a Soviet pilot shot down I-15 just 3 Bf.110). With the emergence of a large number on the front of the Yak-1 and LaGG-3 loss Bf.110 increased significantly and the job they had to fly accompanied Bf.109. In the summer of 1943, almost all the surviving Bf.110 were withdrawn from the eastern front of the Air Command "Reich" (Germany's air defense) Since the beginning of the night raids on British air industrial facilities in Germany Bf.110D effectively used as a night fighter. Because of its range, powerful weaponry and the ability to carry a radar Bf 110 had an excellent chance to continue to fight in the night sky. The modification Bf 110 G-4 was installed radar FuG 202/220 «Lichtenstein». The operator of the radar is placed between the pilot and gunner, the team increased to three people. Night fighters often staffed by setting "slanting music».



Messerschmitt Me.163 Comet - German missile interceptor WWII.
The first flight made September 1, 1941. He produced a small series. By the end of 1944 it delivered 91 aircraft. First
sortie made May 14, 1944. These aircraft made a few missions, and it was shot down 11 machines, while they were able to kill only 9 of US-29. Because of the small amount of fuel the plane could not make a second run-up.
Me-163 had a liquid-propellant rocket engine, which was submitted to 80 percent hydrogen peroxide and the catalyst liquid (potassium permanganate solution or a mixture of methanol, hydrazine hydrate and water). In the combustion chamber, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form large amounts of superheated steam-gas mixture, creating a powerful jet thrust.
