Re: Lt. Hideki Shingo
I can add to that that Shingo claimed a Hurricane shot down on 5 Dec. '43. In total his 331st Ku claimed 4 Hurricanes destroyed and another 2 probables. Actual losses amounted to 3 Hurricanes shot down (with 2 pilots killed) plus one force landing with damage.
(source claims: Tactical Operation Records for 331st Ku for December 1943 via JACAR; source losses: Shores, Air War for Burma)
