2. 02.08.44 Schreiber claimed a Spitfire. I can find no matching loss.
3. 24.08.44 Perhaps in 'white 4' again, Schreiber claimed a PR Spitfire in GGS: 8,000m.:10:55 hrs. which matches Spitfire PRXI EN338 of 683 Sqn RAF flown by F/Lt. Francis Neville Crane.
4. 24.08.44 Perhaps Schreiber was the EKdo 262 pilot that shot down a B-17 match B-17G-20-VE 42-97558 of 748 BS/457 BG, piloted by Lt. Ted Shaw.
5. 26.08.44 Schreiber claimed a Spitfire. I can find no matching loss.
6. 05.09.44 Schreiber claimed a Spitfire near Stuttgart: 8,500m.: 14.41 hrs. which matches Spitfire PRXI PL782 of 14PRS/7PRG flown by 2nd Lt. Robert Beach Hilborn.
7. 28.10.44 Schreiber in a Me 262 of 1. Kommando Nowotny claimed a Spitfire in HN-91: 8,500m.: 13.05-13.10 hrs which matches Spitfire PRXI PL925 of 400 RCAF Sqn. flown by F/Lt. William Wallace Kennedy.
8. 29.10.44 Schreiber in Me 262 W.Nr. 110387 claimed a P-38 over HS (Herford): 9,000m.: 12.00 hrs. which matches F-5E-3-LO 44-23729 of 22PRS/7PRG flown by 2ns Lt. Eugene Selzer Williams.
9. 29.10.44 Schreiber in Me 262 W.Nr. 110387 suffered a mid-air collision at 15.40 hrs with a Spitfire and baled out safely. Probably it was Spitfire PRXI PL953 of 4 Sqn. RAF flown by F/Lt Derek Charles Wilkins.
10. 26.11.44 Schreiber probably in Me 262 110372 'white 3' of 9./JG7 was killed when on landing at Lechfeld he hit a trench and cartwheeled at 10.20 hrs.
Best regards,

Spitfires website says this serial downed by an Me163 on 14.1.45. Believe this entry is in error
I hope that helps...
