The LaGG-3 aircraft was developed in response to the urgent need to modernize Soviet aviation. Its prototype was the LaGG-1 (a 1940 prototype by Lavochkin, Gorbunov, Gudkov), initially designated I-22. Unlike other Soviet projects of that time, it was intended to be built with undefined domestic materials, namely wood. After the first flights, the design proved to be very promising. However, a perfectly developed prototype, covered in sensational plywood (impregnated with imported resins and with aluminum sheets equal in weight and strength) was very different from the hastily produced serial aircraft made from poor-quality materials and covered with ordinary low-quality plywood.
