Re: Luftwaffe Kills in Tunisia Compared to Recorded USAAF P-38 losses
Hello
Have been very busy lately, that’s why a late comment.
Thanks to Mark for the very interesting info, must be a result of much hard work. And because P-38 was unusually easily recognisable plane, not much misidentifications to complicate the analyse. And thanks to Rob for calculating claim accuracy per JG, very interesting. The result of JG 2 isn’t a surprise but the figure of II./JG 51 is a pleasant mild surprise. The results of JG 27, 53 and 77 were more or less what I have expected on that timescale and in that area. IMHO that the appr 2/3 of accepted claims being possible to verify from enemy’s material is a good result and shows that the LW claim accuracy was generally still good during the Tunisia Campaign.
And Don, thanks for the interesting quotes from your coming book, the book seems to be very interesting.
