Re: 602 Squadron claims 16 August 1940
I guess the researchers were based on combat reports rather than ORBs, considering them more reliable. The general problem is lack of understanding of FC victory verification process. There is no doubt that the victories were initially verified on Group level and then submitted to FC. Then in 1942 FC verified victories, adding to the mess, but I have not found anything about the process.
Anyway, I guess more information is in the records, but it would require a few hours in TNA, cross checking various ORBs and reports.
