Hi Guys

Based on actual evidence of claims, and including those making false, but official claims, list should read:-

Kittel 91+
Brendel 87+(however I have ten of his claims missing, and with him almost exactly half of his claims were Il-2;s)
Josten 79
Schall & Wiese 62
Rudorffer 58
Hafner 57
Eisenach 53
Borchers 48+
Batz 48
Bachnick 42
Robert Weiss 41
von Eichel-Streiber & Lipfert 40
Trenkel & Brändle 39
Düttmann & Fonnekold 37+
Schleinhege 37
Helmut Missner & Heinz Schmidt 36
Adolf Nehrig & Paul-Hinrich Dähne 35+
Oskar Romm & Werner Lucas 34
Kurt Dombacher & Gerhard Hoffmann 33+
Barkhorn 33
Hans Waldmann 32
Erich Leie 31
Günther Schack, Bernhard Vechtel & Anton Resch 30+

Another sixty from 20 until 29.

Erich Hartmann a lowly 14+, Hartmann seemed reluctant to fly at low altitude which is what Il-2's did, his 4% ratio must be one of the lowest.

+= he has other claims that I do not have, or claims that he did not, or was not sure of the aircraft type.

Il-2's became more prevalent 1943 onwards.

Kind Regards

Johannes
