BoS Red fighters silhouttes

Just a recognition aid for Blue pilots, I thought it could be handy to put the silhouettes in a single a4 sheet.

 

Cheers!

And then people claim, that they have a hard time telling the LaGG and the Yak apart at distance. This quite clearly shows, that they're kinda, almost not totally identical, maybe...

For the german planes this historical reference is very useful: FM 30-30 (1943) (and american, british, italian, japanese)

 

For the russian planes you can find detailed drawings over here:

With respect to Yak-1 and LaGG-3, from the look of it, the LaGG-3 seems to have a longer nose setion to the cockpit, and the vertical stabilizer is at an ~45° angle, compared to ~75° on the Yak-1.

Not that I think that I would be able notice those difference in the heat of battle...
