Re: Loss of Luftwaffe training aircraft by Mosquitos
Hi, all
Quite an interesting claim series. Did these guys really claim FW 190s? How can you mistake a Bü 131 from a FW 190? An open cockpit two seater inline engined biplane vs a radial engined low wing monoplane? And to call it an aerial combat would may be to stretch it a bit?? Was there any regulation towards what you could call a combat claim and what you could not in the RAF, so that the crews knew that shooting down unarmed trainer aircraft would not count? Regards, Andreas B

Re: Loss of Luftwaffe training aircraft by Mosquitos
Good point Andreas! Unfortunatly I have not answer to that. Think there should have been a difference in shooting down a fighter and an unarmed trainer aircraft. Maybe during the exciting dayranger mission the Mosquito crew mixed up what a/c they have seen on the ground and which one they destroyed airborne?
@ David Pausey: Did No. 515 Sqd. deploy Mosquitos on the same day (30. September 1944)? Do you have any more infos about thouse crews? Thanks alot! Regards, Kurtl
