La-5/7 Vs. Fw190 Eastern Front 42-45

SOVIET FIGHTER AVIATION SUFFERED TERRIBLY AT THE HANDS OF THE JAGDWAFFE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE WAR IN THE EAST, AND WITH THE ARRIVAL OF JG 51 AND ITS FW 190S ON THE STALINGRAD FRONT IN SEPTEMBER 1942 THINGS ONLY GOT WORSE FOR THE HARD-PRESSED RED ARMY AIR FORCE PILOTS. HOWEVER, HELP WAS ON ITS WAY IN THE FORM OF THE RE-ENGINED LAGG-3 FIGHTER.
