Re: Fulmar claims
"At the end of May, the combined number of kills claimed by the Fulmars of 803 and 806 squadrons would be 56 destroyed and 33 damaged. This was almost half the total 'bag' claimed by the Fulmar in its war service".
I found this statement somewhere and it looks pretty authoritative, however by the end of May 1941 I have the following stats.
803 NAS nine kills
806 NAS fifty-nine kills
As for the others...
805 NAS three kills
807 NAS three kills
808 NAS twelve kills
Any input of a precific nature would be great. Most of my information comes from messrs Shores, Cull, Malizia and Galea, with Sturtivant as a massive reference. I always tend to round down on all claims so the Fulmar tally of 112 kills is my base with 400 kills as an FAA total.
