Major Ivan Kozhedub was the top Soviet Ace of World War II. He flew 330 combat missions and was credited with shooting down 62 enemy aircraft. Kozhedub scored his last 17 air victories in early 1945 while flying a Lavochkin La-7 numbered 27. The last aircraft that he shot down was a Messerschmitt Me-262 jet-powered fighter on February 15, 1945 over Frankfurt an der Oder.

The Lavochkin LA-7 was a Soviet fighter aircraft developed by the Lavochkin Design Bureau and used by the Soviet Air Force during World War II. First flown in February 1944, the La-7 entered service later that same year. With a top speed of 661 kph (411 mph) and armed with either two or three 20mm guns, it was considered to be at least equal to any German piston-engine fighter of the time. A total of 5,753 LA-7s had been built when production ended in early 1946.
