Re: In hindsight, who was the top day scorer?
You can narrow down the overclaiming significantly but getting the absolute answer is impossible.
Take the case I looked at yesterday, two Warwicks over the North Sea flying together, attacked by two Me410s.
One Warwick got away without injury at 11:45 hrs, the other was shot down. The first did not see what happened to the second.
Two claims for the right area, one at 11:50 and one at 11:58 by two different Lw pilots flying the right type of fighter.
What can we conclude? It is certain that the combat took place and that one Me410 was successful. Which one got it wrong? We will never know.
That is only two on two, with witnesses on both sides.
You are asking for too much
