on pages 65 and 66 you can find a dogfight between USAAF and NSGr. 7 from 1945
I never doubt that this kind encounters occured, my point simply is that it never was NSGR 7's job to fight off USAF or RAF, if some of their crews had the misfortune to bump into front line fighters of USAF and RAF, then it was just their bad luck, I am very sure some crews of USAAF L-4 had the same feeling when they were Jumped by some FW-190 at the invasion front in 1944. Besides the active hunting Tito period has be long over after later 1944
I mean no disrespect to the author, all I said is between 1941 and first half of the 1943, when majority of hunting Tito was going on and before USAF and RAF threw any sizable force into that area , Tito's men had little means to fight back against Luftwaffe, hence the obsolete aircraft of the NSGr7 matters little.
