hi, Boris, one of important reason for overclaim was misjudge the damaged enemy aircrafts for those shoting down, and for different time and different theatre, the accuracy of claims could be vastly different even for the same units.
Besides, are you sure those none of those Yugoslavia aircrafts were shot down by ground fire or shot down by Italian ?
