Re: The Normandie-Niemen squadron claims
hello Guys
thanks for the input, I have the C.Ehrengardt book Normandie-Niemen and using it to do a breakdown of the Escadrilles,as they were formed and disbanded during the war.
I also have the book "French Eagles,Soviet Heroes" by John D.Clarke and using that as well.
I have done two breakdowns, but the totals come up a little low or the last one little high not matching the 273 score.
I have pilots that I dont know what Escadrilles they were assigned, per example Delfino before the became the regimental commander what Escadrilles he was assigned to?
Other pilots that I cannot confirmerthier Escadrilles are Capt. Matras who later became second in command of the unit .
Right now I broke down the 1/o.Escadrille Rouen by aircraft shot down and shared with other Escadrilles:
1943: 24 individual Squadron kills
1 Shared sqaudron kill
1944: 33 individual squadron kills
5 shared squadron kills
1945: 24 individual squadron kills
4 shared squadron kills
total 73 inidividual squadron kills and 10 shared sqaudron kills= 83.
I will be working on the other Escadrilles and the HQ flights and post my findings.
cheers
Santiago
