The story of shooting down 2 P51s strikes me as a load of crap. The range of the lavochkin La5 is 475 miles (remember, this is the ROUND TRIP) range. The range of P51 is, say, 1700 miles with drop tanks. Additionally, the aircraft operated at vastly different altitudes - the La5 was pretty useless at altitude. Basically, the P51 story sounds like complete myth and there are no sources given. Therefore, i have removed it.
