Re: ? 5./JG 54, Uffz. Erich Kna:bel, MIA 21.06.1944
4 giap AFAIR flew it at least already during Battle for Narva (Feb-March 44). I'm not sure about the 3rd, but I can suppose they both should got new ac before final deblockading of Leningrad in January 44.
That is the time when 3rd regiment became pure La-5 (in the second half of 43 it had one Yak-1 squadron).
