Re: Claims by a KG 51 Me 262 Pilot

Do the MACRs include damaged aircraft as well? (Did the P-47 tend to throw smoke if there was a sudden increase in the throttle? Serious question - I think this happened in Pacific in the early days at least. In a number of early encounters with Zeros, F4F pilots would report that they had hit their targets when in fact the Zero's engine tended to smoke at sudden increases in throttle.)
