Re: Was it an FW190 or an ME110?

Hello,

Misidentification of opponents by night bomber crews was a very common occurence during WW2. Bomber Command combat reports mention numerous encounters with single-engined fighters at a time (before summer 1943) when the Luftwaffe was not using them at night. This fact has even struck RAF intelligence when they captured a XII. Fligerkorps document listing German victories at night: none were claimed by single-engined fighters between December 1942 and June 1943.

Best wishes.

Jérémie
