Re: 7 Feb 10 -Overclaimers v Reliable Claimers List
yes, is really difficult to know how many claims of a pilot corresponds to loss .......the example of JG5 does not mean that the Germans are the most
liars
many aircraft were repaired and included as damaged, no total loss and sometimes you don't know if you were shot down by aa or another aircraft...
too many variables...
Really on the other hand some the cases were exaggerated.
15 claimed - 7 losses its good but could be better
15 claimed - 2 losses were perhaps too optimistic with its claims
you know more allied pilots that could go on the list with good or
bad reputation??
regards
