The La-7 with the fuselage number "27" (painted in white on the aircraft) was the personal mount of the legendary Soviet ace pilot Ivan Kozhedub — the top Allied fighter ace of World War II. This aircraft is not just a piece of military hardware, but a treasured historical artifact bearing witness to extraordinary combat glory.

Top Ace and Record-Breaking Victories: Ivan Kozhedub was the highest-scoring Allied ace of the war, with 62 confirmed aerial victories. His final 17 kills — including the notable downing of a German Me‑262 jet fighter — were all achieved while flying this very La‑7, "White 27." The aircraft's fuselage once bore 62 red stars representing his victories, along with 3 large red stars symbolizing his three "Hero of the Soviet Union" gold star medals.

Final Resting Place: After the war, this decorated aircraft was preserved and is now on permanent display at the Central Air Force Museum in Monino, near Moscow. Despite multiple restorations and relocations over the years, it remains one of the most prominent and admired exhibits in the museum.

In Summary

Thus, the La‑7 bearing fuselage number "27" is far more than just a high‑performance fighter aircraft. It stands as a powerful symbol of Ivan Kozhedub's brilliant aerial achievements and the courage of Soviet pilots during the Great Patriotic War. Today, carefully preserved as a museum treasure, it silently tells the story of that fiery chapter in history.
