Re: Soviet victory claims before 22 VI 1941?
Mirek Wawrzynski,
I believe that you have a point about at least noting aircraft that were damaged. An extreme example would be the Western Desert in 41 and 42. In 'Fighters over the Desert' by Shores and Ring, there is mention of the British recovering over 1000 aircraft in a 17 week period that had crash landed after combat. Of these, some 800 were repaired and returned to service. Most, if not all of these, would have been claimed by German or Italian pilots as victories. Also in WW1, many aircraft were forced to land after minor damage and were recovered. They were also claimed as victories.
