Re: Morato's Air Combat Victories

It is interesting if you befere agree (or set up) about the terms of victory or air claime.
If right remeber the air victory during this air war was then, when enemy plane did not landed on own airfield. The damage and force landing outside such field were very often. Next there were many technical problems due to old and not servisable machines.

So, the Morato's claims are very high but he had fought many times and many times achived some kind of air success, which of course do not means his 100 % destruction of enemy plane or even more then 60 % of making damage (according LW's standards and procedures).
Some of his air victories were less the 60 % of damage, it do not counts as his air victory?

regards,
mw
