For Nowotny I think the problem is there is lots of Me 262 claims by Mustangs in the vicinity of where Nowotny went down. At least one can be ruled out as the gun cam show he shot at an empty Me 262 (the pilot already bailed out from a previous encounter). IIRC, Nowotny's victor had been narrowed to two 20th FG pilots but any new evidence would be interesting.

Even Typhoons shot down some
