NotesOnly 90 built

Notes: Forgive me my use of both English and metric measurements. I readily think in meters of altitude, but haven't quite gotten comfortable with kilometers per hour. This started off as notes for myself to consistency's sake, but I hope that you might find them useful as well.

The LaGG-3 o is a late-model lightened version. I'm not at all sure how many were produced given that most late-model LaGG-3s were converted to La-5s. The information in Gunston is contradictory and the performance data is significantly lower than that published previously.
The G-1 pobably doesn't rate a counter as most aircraft seem to have spent the war deep in the interior rather than on the front. It doesn't have the capacity to drop parachutists.
Most G-2s were converted from early disarmed TB-3s. Those converted from TB-3s with M-34 engines had significantly greater payload capacity at the cost of diminished range.
The Li-2 was a license-built DC-3, but the Soviets greatly increased the strength of airframe over the original at the cost of diminished performance from the increased weight of the aircraft. The range figures for both variants are my best guesses as the available data is very imprecise.

Feel free to send me comments on these ratings as they are by no means final, or even official. Just my idea of what they should be given the re-ratings of all the other aircraft in Europa.
