Re: 7 Feb 10 -Overclaimers v Reliable Claimers List

Hi With Mölders his last claim over Russia on 15th July 1941 seems never have to been confirmed, reducing his 33 to 32 or !at least)over 60%, which is about correct for an honest claimer i.e about two-thirds actually crash, and as he is alleged to have made dozens more after his flying ban, for which he didn't bother to submit a claim, then I think we can safely say he was an honest guy! In fact if two-thirds of a pilots claims actually crash, then they are honest.....but mistaken, though this could be down to there wingmen actually witnessing the crash! With night fighters it's the crew that confirmed it, and a flamming bomber is obvious.

Kind Regards

Johannes
