Hi Michel

Sorry my mistake, there are no missing confirmed claims, just a miss numbering so 17th May 1942 1340 hrs is Nr.89. Also found another unconfirmed for 30th October 1942. Bär is rather like Rudorffer he has a lot of unconfirmed, drop me your email address if you want their updated biographies. It is a myth that Rudorffer flew a thousand missions, it's more like half of that, I did find all of his jet claims and that of his wingman Kurt Tangermann.

Kind Regards

Johannes

Hi Johannes

Well,if I understand correctly,starting from;
18/05/42(12h10)=90.
18/05/42(16h05)=91.

etc.etc...so 14/06/42(19h00)=100. not 103.

best regards
michel
