FranekAccepted then, but if known to be inaccurate now, why continue to use them. All you are doing in perpetuating the myth and inaccuracy of the day. The continual use of proven inaccurate information is misleading and gives a distorted view of the aerial warfare over Europe, on all sides.Surely it is our job as researchers (I’m a amateur) to present the facts. There is a place for the propaganda aspect, it must however be used in context. When hype and propaganda distort known facts the facts are overlooked in favour of the more convenient dramatic alternative. Using the 49 aerial victories as an example, how many on this site actually believe this figure,? If a new member with only limited knowledge on the subject reads this post, his perception of the aerial battles over Europe are distorted and inaccurate. The myth continues..
