Since neither Prien, Mombeek nor Valtonen have any losses for JG 5 on 15 Feb 1942 at all, I wonder from
where you have got that date?

The three authors have however chosen to disagree slightly on the losses dated 5 and 6 Aug 1942.

Concentrating on WNr 1369 Prien gives the WNr as such and destroyed in a ground attack at Pontsalenjoki
on the 5th
Mombeek says WNr 1639 was lost on the 6th (same place)
Valtonen also has WNr 1639 as lost on the 6th.

There is no confusion with WNr 1309 which is listed by all three authors as lost on the 6th.

Seems to me we have a printing error in JFV 9/III rather than a misread.

Cheers
