And there are also logbook entries for "
Frontflug" which the pilot did not include in his running total of
Feindflüge. I don't know for certain what the distinction was, perhaps staying over one's own lines (e.g. patrolling) and not encountering the enemy?
Muddying the waters yet more,
Nachtschlacht pilots in the East did not include anti-partisan operations as
Feindflüge either, I guess because they stayed behind German lines.
