Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
Absolutely! Let's get for example the Me 109E at the RAF Museum. It was credited as a destroyed to the victorious pilot. Nonetheless it flew for quite a while under new management, and you can still see it in one piece. If landed on the other side of the Channel it would probably be listed with minor damage. On the other hand you can see eg. Spitfires, obviously write offs being repaired early in the war, and slightly damaged aircraft being written off late in the war.
Hence it is more important to find out who was on the receiving end, rather than to look for destroyed aircraft only. Aside, Hartmann's victories were of no importance. Luftwaffe just los the war in the air in general.
