Unknown? FW189 loss 23.May.1943

[Stig Jarlevik]

Thanks Andrey

Well if the observer reported both losses it's another matter of course.

Generally what I am saying is not that the observer did not recognise the Fw 189 as such but that he was mixing type numbers, just like someone who is not too familiar with Luftwaffe type numbers could state Fw 109 and Bf 190. You recognise the type as such, but uncertain about the correct type number, you mix them in a field report.

If no Fw 189 losses are found I believe the observer made a mistake

Cheers
