On that day, the Hungarian Bf 109 fighter bombers claimed four Il-2s, two by Pánczél and Bánlaky each. There are no conflicting details on the number of claims (albeit many other details are missing), two of them were claimed by him and two were confirmed to him. My aces book contains the most detailed description of these claims, which was ever published. I also published a original 1:500.000 Luftwaffe map of the greater area, where Pánczél scored his two kills on that day (I have a fine set of original wartime air maps, a number of different ones were used to create the book).

Thanks Csaba

Can we hope for a sooner rather than later translation of your book into English?

Cheers

Dear Csaba&Co,

I'm looking forward to the English version of your book, too.

Can anybody tell me what aircraft type Giulio Torresi was flying on 10Apr43 or how many pilots shared in his three shared kills of that date ?
