"March before he switched to flying the La-5. His first victory on the La-5 in June after he shot down an Me-109.[5] That victory was recreated in a Soviet propaganda film, which showed him taking off from the airfield and shooting down the enemy plane right after a meeting about his application to join the Communist Party.[6] Throughout the summer of 1943 he rapidly grew his victory tally, and by the end of the year he had claimed 13 solo shootdowns of enemy aircraft. When he switched to flying the La-5 in Spring 1945, he managed to gain nine aerial victories over the course of one month.[5]"

This passage insinuates he switched to flying the La-5 two times. It is possible the second mention was actually a switch from the La-5 to the La-7? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirazdoost (talkcontribs) 00:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
