Jan17,1943 Abschuss F-5/P-38 Oblt. Franz Schiess JG-53
On January 17,1943 Oblt Franz Schiess shot down a F-4/F-5 P-38 in a spectacular Abschuss-"I took off and coming up underneath him got to within 50 meters (~150 ft)...The American burst into flames, enveloping my own aircraft"
in spite of this vivid description, there is no corresponding F-4/F-5 loss referenced in MAW3. Any ideas? Franz Schiess was an accurate Luftwaffe experten, so he is unlikely to have fabricated the claim.
