Battle of Britain - who shot what down?

Thanks for the clarifications
I had rather expected to find that there was already a large body of research, but despite being a familiar here I haven't found anything than individual sets of reports, not as a collective whole.

Thanks for putting me right on that.
As to "expecting a high level of precision" I think you read too much into my post. I was asking if there was a level of research to establish who shot down whom but did accept that in the melee of a dogfight where one victor may shortly thereafter become a victim without the claim being able to be made by the pilot.

It is precisely because of the amount of information that I see daily coming up on the board that I asked the question as there is such a high level of quality information analysing claims. I just hadn't realised that it was all being pulled together in one place.

Thanks for the info, I look forward to doing some more trawling through the threads!
