Luftwaffe Night fighter claims - type of aircraft flown

[Mikael Olrog]

Hello,

I've got the book Luftwaffe night fighter combat claims 1939-1945 by Foreman, Matthews & Parry, but unfortunately I'm missing the piece of information that I was looking for - that is which type of aircraft the Lw pilot was flying at the time of his claim. The later is of course of interest when looking in to how successfull a specific type of aircraft was. Would this information be available somewhere and possibly omitted by the authors due to lack of space?

Best regards
/Mikael

Please note that there are quite a number of discrepancies between the Foreman, Matthews & Parry book versus Theo Boiten's "Nachtjagd War Diaries". I've recorded the information from both in my claims file. There also are quite a number of logbooks for Nachtjagd pilots in the for trade circuit. The aircraft types, along with codes, are pretty much all listed in these with the claims. Some books, such Peter Hinchliffe's titles on Lent and Schnauffer record these as well, I believe.

Thanks Jim, I will make sure to also look in to Theo's book and I will look in to the suggested readings. Thanks!
