Re: 602 Squadron claims 16 August 1940
Francis K. Mason do inform on pages 272 and 273 of his "Battle of Britain" that:
Oblt Schlaffer and Lt Marchfelder were indeed shot down by Spitfires from 602 Squadron at 16:45hs over the Isle of Wight. There is a mention to another III/ZG 76 machine being shot down by RAF fighters, whose crew was rescued by Seenotflugkommando later.
The Ju 87 B of III/StG.2 is indeed confirmed at 13:08hs to a 602 Squadron Spitfire pilot (not named though). No crew details on the German side...
Could the He 111 claimed by that from II/KG 55 (crew of Hauptmann Sabler) who is registered as "Shot down by Spitfire of unknown Squadron at 17:28hs)?
