Accuracy on certain JG5 claims
 

Hello All

I ask for your help in trying "to resolve" several battles of JG5.
It's the obscure side of some reported events by E.Mombeek in his vol.3 on the JG5.
Also,if one of you can,complete,modify or correct these events,it's the welcome.

Thanks in advance

2)22/10/42=one hurricane(Slt.Markow,835 IAP)"Alakutti":winner(s)?
3)17/11/42=one hurricane,one P-40 (of 2./760 IAP) claimed as Lagg:winner(s).
4)26/11/42=one Lagg of (609 IAP) claimed as Mig:winner(s)?

the other combat-victors are noted as N N in the same book. Perhaps the original documents from Luftflotte 5 can provide the missing names?

It's a beginning,it' already better than what I have.
According to J.Prien,what would be the staffels incriminated?

Me,I have
4/10=4°staffel
22/10=4°staffel
17/11=unknown
14/12=4° or 5° staffels ?

Dr Prien credits the Abschüsse to II/JG 5, not to a specific Staffel.
