Hi,

A couple of months ago Morten Jessen and I posted an article on the Air War Publications website that listed USAAF aerial victory claims against FW 190s in the Mediterranean theatre. We then attempted to match up who the USAAF pilots were actually fighting against in each combat, and how accurate their claims were. The period covered is 14 May to 2 September 1943.

The list is available to download from this page, towards the bottom:

I’d be really curious to hear any comments, corrections or additions to this list. Given the recent discussion about Luftwaffe fighter pilot over-claiming and alleged falsifying, I thought that it might interest some to see an effort at matching claims and losses based on primary sources.

Thanks to Frank Olynyk for allowing me to use his victory claims list as a basis for this document.


Cheers,
Andrew A.
