Thanks to several contributors to this thread various important revisions have been made to the EOE database of Lw losses on 24 September 1939.
Marius is quite correct in that the original (and only) source for the reference to Oberlt BORTH of JGr152 was Shores' Fledgling Eagles so presumably this originated from the late Heinrich WEISS ? I am not aware of any French reports concerning this and as no reliable corroboration for it has (seemingly) ever been established I have deleted the entry.
