Re: Bf 109 escorting KG55 at 26th sept 1940
I presume they just went through the formation, firing from the close distance, and fighting over water, they were unable to observe exploding wrecks. More, I have had a look into another book, and it says that 303 downed 2-0-1 Do 17s, this must be subtracted from the number of downed Heinkels. Looks a little bit better, and given that eg. Frantisek downed his He over France, and that there was possibly some friendly fire, the overall result may be not that bad.
