Re: identification of the Normandy-Niemen victories : overclaiming my friend!
Thanks Laurent
A couple of other minor observations Claims 1) and 2) are the same day, ie 5 April 1943. For some reason you have chosen to use the "American" way of writing dates, meaning claim 1) is reversed. Claims 3) - 5) were all over Fw 190s, missing here. Also always keep in mind that pilots identification skills were "lousy" and rightfully so since identifying aircraft types, many instances only for split seconds, was a tricky business.....
