Clostermann shot down?

[Franek Grabowski]

Chris, we are indeed walking on a very soft ground here. What bothers me in the first place is that whatever is written by Clostermann, it is at the start considered untrue. But what if Clostermann just only confused name and date in his memoirs, does it mean the story is bogus?
It reminds me the story of the yellow Fw 190. Everyone laughed off this story, but nobody bothered to notice that yellow German aircraft had been reported occasionally. It does not mean they were yellow, it does mean they were seen yellow.
I believe hard conclusions are drawn just too easily here. Again, please do not consider it any personal attack, as my comments were not particularly aimed at you. I just want all the researchers here to reconsider use of such words like most likely, most probably, I believe, documents I have found show, etc.
