Re: 55th FG vs. Luftwaffe on 11th June 1944 - wild over-crediting?

Franek,

you may quite well be right. A long time ago there was a file (on belgian Air War Europe page IIRC) about ETO Lightning losses in June 1944, where it was stated about Bollwerk´s loss: At 15.38 hrs, Major Valentin Bollwerk strafes Amiens-Glisy airfield. He is hit by 20mm Flak and can make a belly landing near Poulainville (Amiens), his plane nevertheless destroyed by fire. Pilot POW.

Juha, I hope I have not created more confusion.

Ota
