7th April 1945 - the 1st VLR Mission over Japan

Hi all,

I have the question about the 1st VLR mission over Japan on the 7th April 1945 about score of Mustangs pilot from this day.

On the page 58 of the book Very Long Range P-51 Mustang Unit of the Pacific War (Osprey publishing - Aviation Elite Unit no 21, author Carl Molesworth) is score for both Mustangs Groups 26-1-5 (destroyes - probably destroyes - damaged) .... but in this link http://www.pacificwrecks.com/60th/1945/4-45.html is score for Mustang pilots 21-5-7 :
VII Fighter Command: Mission 1: 91 of 108 P-51s escort B-29s to Tokyo; they claim 21-5-7 Japanese aircraft; 2 P-51s are lost.

In the book he Long Campaing - The History of the 15th Fighter Group in World War II (author John W. Lambert, Schiffer publishing) on the page 95 is score for the 15th FG 17-3-5, same number like by name of scoring pilots on the page 167.

Question is - which number is right ? anybody know info about daily score of the 21st FG (name of pilots, types od enemies, time and place) in this mission ?
Or is anywhere info about other VLR mission - books, www links, magazines ...all helps are welcome.

Thanks Faenor
