Re: Pearl Harbor's Missing Aircraft - 7 Dec 1941
Juha,
My understanding from "Bloody Shambles" is that the Japanese records where just that, a shambles. In addition to overclaiming they also didnt record their own losses accurately.
A number of the Australian claims are verified as the aircraft crashed on the land, harder to confirm are those which were claimed over the sea.
What numbers do you have for Japanese losses, from memory (I'll find the book again) the Australian (& British) claims were not all that many.
