This is a survival rate of roughly 4% which seems a little high. Can anyone verify?
BTW, the book is well written for a general public type of publication and gives a good history of Franz Stigler (II/JG-27,IV/JG-27 and JV-44) in WWII. There are some erroneous facts and dates but overall, a welcome addition to my library.

Oh wow !
This seems to start a rough discussion.
My basic-school teacher was a Bordfunker in a German Nachtjäger unit (believe Bf 110) and he survived WW 2.
What's with him ?
