[Boris Ciglic]

Hi Flavio,


In the book, there is a description as well as full list of all his victories: 37 confirmed, 7 unconfirmed and two w.b. From these, with the help of our friends Andrey Kuznetsov and Ivan Lavrinenko we have established with very high degree of certainty who was he fighting against in all but just one case.



In summer 1944, Croat AF authorities confirmed his previously 7 unconfirmed claims and raised his score to 44. Still, in Luftwaffe his score never surpassed 37. Interestingly, after his defection to the Soviets in September, his score was downgraded back to 37 by the Croats.



As for his planes, there are photos of several that he surely flew, but for most of the time in 15.(kroat.)/JG 52 everybody was flying what was available and operational at the moment.



Cheers,
Boris
