Re: Saburo Sakai
hi
no not necessarily shared but also as individual recorded.
the japanese overclaiming rate is much important than american and british
some examples japanese
6.4.42 5 claims 2 real losses
10.4.42 3 claims 1 real losses
2.5.42 8 claims 1 real losses
25.5.42 6 claims 6 real losses!
18.6.42 18 claims 5 real losses
4.42 to 10.42 = 374 claims ( all in the official "kodochosho") rabaul/new guinea 139 real losses US and BRITISH
the difference with overclaiming US
guadalcanal 7.8.42
claims of VF5 :Scarlet 2 and scarlet 8 : 5 claims
japanese real losses: 4
a very good ratio claims/losses
claims of VF5 and VF6 : 16 vals
japanese real losses : only 5 vals of the 2°kokutai
and now the japanese
in the "kodochosho" 36 claims 11 real losses US!
