Re: 5 October 1944 - claim for a P_38/F-5 C
Sorry to barge in here, but the P-38/F-5 must have been one of the most easily regognized airplanes on the Western Front.
At the height we are talking about as well, nothing looked like that.
I doubt very much a friendly fire.
It is more likely that the German pilot just maybe never realised he had inflicted any damage to the Lightning. The Me 262 was new and if, on top, the aircraft was from a Bomber Unit, the pilot was probably not very comfortable doing air combat and that might account for no victory claim (s) being filed.
Mistaking a Mosquito with a Me 410 is one thing (I buy that) but mistaking a P-38 with a Lightning, no I can't accept that. Sorry.
Cheers
Stig
