A large portion of Allied losses were due to undetermined causes and unfortunately some unscrupulous writers wish to credit all losses to German fighters. For whatever reason, they refuse to recognize accident statistics and all that messy flak business remains largely unexplored.


Hi,

I continue to consider german claims more accurate than other aviation's claims, particurarly for the period 1941-1943.
You have stated that you doubt of this, but don't give any indication on which Air force has more accurate claims......then if you will, can we compare numbers and data

regards
Alessandro
