Michael,

Eg. on October 6, 1944 the 1. OIAP "Normandie", 18. GvIAP and 523. IAP regiments flew 102 sorties together with 56 Yak-3s and 16 La-5s. This means that "Normandie" used only Yak-3s during these sorties as only the 523. IAP was equipped with the La-5s. Other early October days also say that the 1. OIAP used Yak-3s, so I assume yes, he scored his October kills in a Yak-3.
