Re: Claims of 151. Wing on 6.10.41: 2 or 3 Ju 88?
Hi thanks, :-)
I know it very well, and due to this I make this asking. During the same battle over Vayenga against Ju 88s A-5 of I/KG 30, Soviet fighters (of 72. SAP VVS NF) had claimed next 6 destroyed Ju 88s. So total Soviet and British units had claimed 8 destoyed Ju 88s plus aditional one Me 109 by British.
The last victories do not fit in such counting like: Griffin (who was the first one writng about this events, during the war), Sheppard and Geust.
There are given in Griffin's book total 12 achived victories before the last battle agains Ju 88 and Me 109. Somewhere one victory is wrong credit or misleading credited?
There are 12 Me 109 destroyed (before 6.10. in Griffin's book) + the last 3 one (2 Ju 88 + 1 Me 109) which giving total 15 not 14 as usualy are written.
Second option: Griffin had made wrong couting (one Me 109 too much)?
Regards,
