Lt "Kovner" of JG 105, 5 october 1943

In Tony Wood's claim list, there is one claim on 5 October 1943 for JG 105:
05.10.43 Ltn. Kovner 3./JG 105 Typhoon £ 2 km. E. Albis: 300 m. [area Nangis] 11.42 Film C. 2031/II Anerk: Nr. -

This claim was done against a Typhoon of 247 Sqn flying a Rhubard (http://francecrashes39-45.net/page_fiche_av.php?id=4761) that crashed in Ablis, south of Rambouillet (and so not in Albis or near Nangis).

I guess this entry was of poor quality, as I suspect that the name of the German pilot is false too. Kovner is not a German common name, and I found none in the Volksbund database, for example. And I can't find a close name in all German claim I know.

So may the people here having Luftwaffe losses databases check JG 105 entries to find a close name ?

Thanks in advance

Laurent
