P-39Q of 213 GIAP in the spring of 1945. At the time it was attached to the 2nd Air Army of 1st Ukrainian Front and participated in battles in southern Poland and northern Czechoslovakia. This aircraft features a white spinner and cowl ring as regimental markings and a diagonal white stripe on the tail common to all three regiments of it's division, 22 GIAD. A guards emblem is painted on the starboard door to indicate it's status as an elite Guards unit and on the port side door is painted the emblem for the order of Alexander Nevsky, awarded to 213 GIAP for valor. An unusual camouflage pattern of a light colored paint evident in a reference photo. The prevailing theory is that this color was probably the same light yellow-brown oil-based paint used on all-metal IL-2's. Original U.S. insignia were painted over in Soviet green and light blue and then given Soviet red stars in six positions.
