Re: Luftwaffe Losses, 17 November 1940
Steve,
Had a look at a JG54 pilot loss list, and Luft Qm's returns which seem to confirm the JG54 losses on the 17th all as stated by John Foreman. Three other 109 losses plus one damaged do not tie with the 41 and 603 Sqd. claims. In the middle of a fight if several pilots see their 109 diving away giving off smoke one of these goes down in a big splash and the others pull out low and make for home, I guess more than one pilot might in good faith put in a claim. I suppose combat reports written following the stress of battle might not always tie up with known facts all these years on. Regards Brian Bines |
