Hi Gabor,

Thanks for your interesting comments -and yes, I can only echo your comments: "Needless to say that official crash sites hardly match the NJG victory locations, since damaged planes still could fly more hundred kms before crash, so... without divine help, I think some cases will remain eternal mysteries... " During the research of the NJWD 2nd edition, I've found many instances of 'certain' Abschüsse that concerned damaged a/c that made it back to their base, or claims that cannot possibly be tied to any known loss or even a damaged a/c.. So yes, there will always remain 'mystery claims'..

Cheers, Theo
