Re: Me's vs Spits over North Africa: Who were those guys?

On a hunch, I checked on Kacha's Luftwaffe Page...And well, well...Kacha's website HAS Muenchenberg's victory tally: AND this is the one I think it is: on November 9, 1942, Muenchenberg claimed 2 Spit V's:

117 9.11.1942 15:07 Spitfire Stab/JG 77 E Buq Buq; Spitfire V of 92 Sqn, RAF flown by F/Sgt Blades

- 9.11.1942 - Spitfire w.b. Stab/JG 77

I'm not too sure what 'w.b.' stands for but as a vic it was NOT confirmed; as for Buq Buq, I'm not too sure where that is either but I'll go out on a limb & guess it's near the frontlines during the time of the Alamein battles--BUT I am NOT sure; Nor am I TOTALLY sure the date is quite right for Nomis's 'around/before the battles at Alamein'---but so far, it's the best I've gotten
