Re: Guadalcanal, P-400 lost on 30/08/1942
Very interesting Laurent
On the losses of the 3 F4F,it's troubling the difference between the 2 versions (one official squadron and one Lt.Amerine).
In view of his testimony,it seems to me that the version of accidents for the 3 pilots could be discussed (reasons,DATES),because what "interest" of his share to tell that it was ambushed by Zeros,in spite of the lack of confirmations of the Japanese side.....for the 31/08....but the 30/08?
Confusion between dates?local time,US time.or another reason?
As for the 5 P-400 heavily damaged,I might have a little tendency to consider them as "victories" for the Japanese,even if they were subsequently repaired...?? for the moment not certainly.
