We pretty much can be in those instances where there was only one claim and one loss at a given time and place, or where only one aircraft of a given type went down. Equally, where a survivor recalled some detail of the attacker that would single it out (e.g. if the attacker was a Ju 88 and only one Ju 88 made a claim). Very few engagements are that simple of course …
