Re: Brieglebīs claims on Beaufighters - Dec. 1944

Hi Erich!
Thank you for answering. I do know it was quiet common to misdjuge an aircraft for another, particularly at night and under pressures of combat action, fatigue, etc...There are several examples on the NACHTJAGD ( Jabs claiming a Stirling when it was a Lancaster; Schnaufer claiming a Lanc when it was a Halifax, etc...)
But, as we both have checked, there is no RAF losses ( on Bomber Command Records! I did not have access to Coastal Command losses yet ) on twins on the last entries 29/30 December and 2/3 December...
By the way, did you have the names of the crew of NV179? Could you pass them for me, if available?
Glad
Adriano
