Re: 5 October 1944 - claim for a P_38/F-5 C
Unlikely I know, but could this F-5 loss be a case of 'Friendly Fire' ? A 140 Squadron Mosquito was shot down near Helgoland by USAAF P-51s of the 4th FG this day and claimed as a 'Me 410' ('2nd TACTICAL AIR FORCE', Vol. 2 by Chris Shores and Chris Thomas). I do not have the relevant volume of USAAF fighter claims by Frank Olynyk, but perhaps someone might comment on this.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
