Anyhow, you surely know when the report was written down. Kowalczyk was writing what remained in his mind.
To be exact, it is not known what was the basis of several of those reports. Some suggest, their authors had some sort of notes.

So maybe you could tell us what pilots flew this mission and at what time exactly? Isn`t there anything about the names of the pilots?
I have not yet received a list of individual sorties flown by fighters in 1939. Also, I have not yet researched Brygada Pościgowa.
[/quote]I have here some German KTB`s of fighter units, where a mission is written as o.F. (ohne Feindberührung - without enemy contact). In fact there was a short clash with Polish aircraft, but nobody reported a confirmed victory. Therefore in the KTB it remained o.F.[/quote]
Well, this is rather a proof of inaccuracies in German documents.

Cynk used many sources, not only the Polish Institute archives. However, he did not comment this information with any kind of a document or whatever.
Yes, indeed and it must be veified. Nonetheless Cynk's book as yet should have been regarded as a source book.

OK. It is your decision. But what do you mean with Reither`s version? This one published in a Polish paper (SP) in the nineties?
Yes.
