92 Squadron 300th to 317th
 
I am looking for details of the claims made by 92 squadron between 16th February and 22 June 1944. . According to records they must have claimed at least 13 kills in this period (claims 301-313) but I can find just 10 (Montgomerie(3), Gasson(3 - 2 shared with whom?), Garner, Jones, Boy/Young, Lawton).

I am also looking for details of the claims of FSgts Bristow and Buchanan in the period November-December 1943. They both claimed a victory during this time.

Cheers, Frank

I have only the following claims after this period...

29.06.44 0-0-1 Bf109 Lt Boy
21.07.44 1-0-0 Ju88 SL Cox, Lt Manne
24.08.44 0-1-0 Bf109 FO Taylor
25.08.44 1-0-0 Bf109 FL Montgomerie
28.08.44 1-0-0 Bf109 WO Newman
29.08.44 0-0-1 Bf109 ?

Plus another victory shared by a pilot called Stevenson?

Still doesn't add up to 317+

Any ideas? Were other claims re-graded later?

Oops, my arithmetic shows me up again! Any ideas about the Stevenson claim? I think it was over a recce aircraft.

Aha, found it! Claim was for a Me410 (or possibly Ju88) on 24 July and was shared by PO Stevenson and PO Young.
