Re: Flying Tigers VS Christopher Shores?
Hi,
I just wanted to remark something about loss statistics.
I agree that the argument about "hidden losses" is almost always unsubstantiated.
But I wished to remark that the cause of losses may sometimes be questionable.
Generally, this is not the case, but when records are uncomplete, this may happen, the example about which I'm thinking about here is German losses on the Eastern Front, where some combat losses have been later recounted as accidents, or air-to-air losses as caused by AAA, or various different causes mentioned (I think about Hans Ahn's loss or the death of Otto Kittel).
That said, I'm playing here the devil's advocate...
Kolya.
