No ASCC reporting name was ever allotted, as the aircraft remained unknown to the west until the late 1970s. The aircraft was known though after the appearance at the annual Tushino Flypast, but under another name. It was represented in an early 1950s book, "Russias jets and other aircraft" as the Lavochkin La-15, while in the same book the real La-15 was presented as the La-17. There is a blurred picture and an incorrect drawing of the first prototype, with no dihedral on the tailplanes.<ref>Green, William. ''Russia's Jets and Other Aircraft''.
