What Vati and John have said is true but for me it doesn't invalidate the work of trying to untangle historical events. What's important is to take care in wording your findings.

To be fair, and retain a semblance of balance, the same intensity of scrutiny has to be applied to British and American aces as well.

I cannot say anything about Japanese records of units fighting AVG, but I know they are scarce for 1943.

Very scarce, since the AVG no longer existed in 1943.

Your comments were nicely stated, Jim P.

Please re-read. I referred to later combats in China against USAAF.
