Steve, thanks again. This adds on to the total claims made against the Germans. In the heat of battle everything can change quickly, so what you are focused on one second can be gone the next. I read one report of a US pilot describing the Me-109 lightning up like a Christmas tree, he found from the gun camera film that another pilot in his group had been shooting at the same Me-109. I wonder how many of these claims might have been the same aircraft that survived only to fall into another death trap in another location. I have seen on the Eastern Front that Soviet and German aircraft have escaped one attack only to fall to another attack at another altitude and location.
