A LaGG-3 flown by Captain "Crazy Catman" Galchenko (why there's no red stars?). He was the commander of the 2nd Sqn, 145 IAP based at Murmansk on the Northern front. At the age of 29 Galchenko flew in 1939-40 war against Finland without being involved in any aerial combats. During the Continuation War Galchenko shot down a Luftwaffe Ju 88, midnight sun in the sky. He started to be favourably impressed by his new aircraft, scoring 8 aerial victories within the end of September 1941. Then he became deputy commander of 324 IAD with La-5f, on whose tail he painted his Cat Emblem again. He flew over the war totalizing 24 victories + 12 shared in 310 sorties.
