Try checking III./ZG 26 claims on 18th August 1940, for example, against what actually happened. So one must not ascribe 100% veracity to all that was claimed (and yes, I know that applies to all combat units in all air forces).

TOTALLY off the subject John but I just noticed your links below...You're a part of the British Invasion????
