Re: Bomber Aces
I must agree with Smudger on this and like him want to say i am not Anti American and do appreciate all they did in the war, but far too much evidence shows that their was massive overclaiming by US gunners, obviously due to many gunners shooting at a single fighter and if it was hit they all claimed it, also i assume any erratic flying to escape by the Luftwaffe would be classed as "shot down" and this together with any fighter diving hard and fast for home after a firing pass would also be another kill !!!
You simply can't argue with facts and it would be nice to see the real Luftwaffe losses for this raid in particular and, i would place a safe bet that they lost less than 7 fighters to gunners during the whole attack.
