Re: Luftwaffe losses. Rhubarb 22/05/1941.

Hello
well I definitely agree that overclaiming was/is a fact in aerial warfare but according to Foreman's 1941 Part 2 there were 2 LW twin engine losses on 22 May 1941. Not very probable but pilots sometimes made bad target identification errors.
Ju 88A5 2281 from K.Gr. 806 force landed at Caen with battle damage . 80% damaged.
He 59 1518 from SNF.Kdo 6 was reported missing in the Channel area. Fw Paul Erdmann and crew missing.
