Thanks Johannes,

The term really does seem to trigger some people and some certain responses from them. I think the term describes the act (accidental or otherwise) very well.

You make a good point about those pilots of JG 27. All these years later, the Expertensschwarm is still an "interesting" subject. A History of the Mediterranean Air War Volume 2 showed that the allegations of overclaiming still stand, very much so.

And for me, I believe a certain event involving one of the Schwarm's members just over a year later deserves re-examination too.
