Re: F-86 vs MiG 15, the claims...
Great thread guys. Thanks to all of you. So, what's the bottom line here? Did we grossly overclaim or just some? Did we understate our losses to MiGs to save face?
Understating losses is something all air forces do if they count a certain way. Recall the Schwinfert mission of 14-Oct-43 where we admitted officially losing 60 B-17s. We also had a further 30 return that were fit only for spare parts and were scrapped. Why are they not counted as losses and Luftwaffe victories?
