Re: Top Bf 109 aces
With regard to Juutilainen, yes. According to Keskinen/Stenman
2 + 1 claims with Fokker D.XXI 34 + 2 claims with Brewster Buffalo 57 + 8 claims with Bf 109 G Making 93 totally destroyed and 11 as damaged. Unfortunately they contradict themselves when doing the summary and award him with 94 complete and 10 damaged. Most likely they have listed a fully destroyed aircraft only as damaged, but which one, I don't know. There could also be two reasons for this. They have actually made a printing error or have interpreted the surviving records differently than the Air Force HQ did at the time. However whatever interpretation is made later, they also quite correctly point out, they cannot change the official historical verdict. Cheers Stig
