Re: Allied claims 08/02/1945

I have the Wekusta 26 Ju88D-1 lost on 23 September 1943 (HMAW v.4) and two of it's crew POW. On the 23 September GC2/7 did not fly combat sorties.

Overall the claims of 332 French Wing seem very accurate. In almost all cases their claims match or nearly match Luftwaffe losses.

The French system of sharing victories is probably fair, but in many individual instances including Gauthier it seems to dilute his performance. From my research he was usually the victor in aerial combat, and his wingmen shooting at aircraft that were severely, fatally damaged.

regards

Keith
