La-7 were well liked by their pilots, and some of Russia's top aces flew them, including Ivan Kozedub, three time hero of the Soviet Union, the number one allied ace with 62 victories, all of them while flying Lavochkin fighters. The last was a La-7 which he received in July, 1944. He shot down 17 German aircraft, one of them being a Messerschmitt Me-262 jet. | |||
