Re: FAA total
On the Albacore case.
According to Hannu Valtonen's Luftwaffen Pohjoinen Sivusta (1997) the Ju 87 was Ju 87 B-1 W.Nr. 5310, LI+EW, 12.(St.)/LG 1, shot down by Lt. J. N. Ball/827 Sqn with his front gun. The crew of the Ju 87 KIA. As a plus one Bf 110 seems to be shot down by an Albacore gunner. At least its crew, the Bf 110 pilot, Karl-Fritz Schlossstein, and his gunner, both survived, maintained that they were shot down by an Albacore gunner whose plane they were hitting hard not by a Fulmar. British and Valtonen in his book allocate this loss to a Fulmar but when Schlossstein visited Finland some years ago he still insisted that he was shot down by an Albacore rear gunner. Juha
