Re: Erich Hartmann: 352 victories or... 80?

according to the RAF homepage:
on july 10th. not just 1 hurri was lost.
2 hurricanes are lost in combat, and 2 crashed while landing.

six nifty,
you know , how many missions were flown by hartmann ?
if you take robert johnsons missions ( 28 kills in 91 missions ) to compare it with hartmanns.
his claims are also undoubtedly fantasy.


note.
i also believe most claims , not just from hartmann or the luftwaffe ( all airforces) has nothing to do with the reality.
its just a matter of the ratio of overclaims.
1 : 3 or 1: 4 for the VVS and the LW, even worse for the USAAF and the RAF.
