Re: J/88 dogfights

Hi,

this is the real problem in different sources i find different info, its very confused:

El 23, sobre Viver, son derribados los “Fiat” de Lucchini y Dino Oliosi durante el combate que se sostuvo con los “Moscas” que daban escolta a los “Katiuskas” que bombardeaban la zona de Caudiel y Benafer. A las 13,15 h. los “Moscas” y “Chatos” combaten con los “Messers” al intentar realizar una misión de ametrallamiento en la zona de Cerro Cruz y San Roque. Dos “Moscas” toman tierra en campos distintos de su base por estar los pilotos heridos. Los gubernamentales citan un “Messers” que cae en la estación de Segorbe del que no hay noticias. Al aterrizar en La Cenia, Boer rompe su “Messers” averiado en el combate. También este día son alcanzados en el Vértice Salada dos aviones de asalto, un He-51 y un He-45 que pudo llegar al aeródromo de Toro (Ugarte y Wakonig), que ya estaba en manos de los nacionales.

On 23rd, the "Fiat" of Lucchini and Dino Oliosi were shot down during the combat that was carried out with the "Moscas" that gave escort to the "Katiuskas" that bombarded the zone of Caudiel and Benafer. At 13.15 h. The "Mosacas" and "Chatos" fight with the "Messers" when trying to carry out a machine gun mission in the area of ​​Cerro Cruz and San Roque. Two "Moscas" take ground in fields other than their base because the pilots are wounded. The government cites a "Messers" that falls in the Segorbe station of which there is no news. Upon landing in La Cenia, Boer breaks his "Messers" damaged in combat. Also on this day, two assault planes, a He-51 and a He-45, were able to reach the Toro airfield (Ugarte and Wakonig), which was already in the hands of the nationals.

moreover the time would be important to know how many combats were in reality....
