Re: P-38 losses, southern Greece 15/17 November,1943

Not all claims that were attributed to AAA by units on return, even with "eye witnesses" turn out to be true. I just finished reading about a Soviet bomber that the loss was attributed to flak. On the return of the the few returning crew members they were hit by flak but escaped only to be shot down by a nightfighter. Same with another case of an Il-2 (in daytime) that appears on Soviet records to flak but on closer examination a fighter of JG54 was making a claim same time, location and height.
