Re: USAAF Claims for Me 163s
I'll try to answer all the 355th questions.
First, neither Garlich nor Allen received an aerial victory credit during WWII by either *th AF VCB or USAF Study 85.
The Me 163 claim by Garlich was a credited Me 263 at Neuberg A/d. The 355th awards for ground destruction on 2/23/45 was 14 Destroyed, 12 Damaged. None of the damaged Me 262s burned and only Garlich's 163 was observed burning.
Allen's 3-2-45 claims for 109s were disallowed because a.) no witness and b.) film was bad. Simply no confirmation possible.
