Re: stuka ju 87 werknummer 5136 info wanted

Philippe,

Unfortunately not, there are rarely any guarantees as to who got exactly what when researching actions of this kind and particularly at such a distance in time. Certainly, No. 3 Squadron were responsible but which individual pilot remains open to question. Hence my cautionary 'Possibly one of those ...' phrasing used in BoFrT&N. They filed claims for seven Ju87s destroyed, (plus two more unconfirmed), after this action when, as far as I am aware, only two Stukas were actually lost. It may well have been Stephens rather than Carey - who knows for sure ?
