Re: P-38 losses, southern Greece 15/17 November,1943
You'd expect more over claiming by the guys flying over the other guy's turf. Getting a look at a wreck on the ground is a bit tough in that situation. No one has ever denied there was over claiming.
The problem is Bartels and company were over their own turf and we've always been lead to believe that LW claims were meticulously documented and confirmed.
Clearly not the case if in a two day stretch they claim 19 P38s when in fact one was lost to flak.
