From original document:
............................. ............................. ............................. .................
AH: What do you consider to have been the best fighter airplane--regardless of nationality--of World War II?

Kozhedub: The La-7. I hope you understand why
............................. ............................. ............................. .................

The answer of other aces:

    Hartmann--109
    Remske--Ta 152
    Yeager--P 51
    Zemske--P47
    J. Jhonson--Spit
    ...

La 7 maybe the best fighter of AH(and Russia front because low alt battles), but at RL if alt 10000-20000ft then La 7 was  average and more 20000ft  are crap. SA is the key(like Kozhedub says), and SA is more E.

I'm not trying to argue about whom the best, it’s a interesting read so I posted it here.
