This is a very old stuff but interesting anyway.

JimP, Where did you read the Prien's team wrote "Yellow 7" ?? I read "White 7" I mean "Weisse 7" Abb 437, page 417.
Indeed, too, Carganico's "11" wears a Yellow code, not white as described page 416.
...
Oh one - or two - error(s) in Prien's (& all) concerning Dahmer caption, page 417:
It' written 21 Abschüsse which is wrong there are 22 on picture we can see the 22nd top just above the horizontal tailplane. Clearly visible on very same picture sold through eBay.
2nd error being the date. 11 July being Prien's comput, not Dahmer comput since he did include in this score board two litigious victories gained when in 6./JG26. Hence, at least, the picture has been made on 9 of July, not on 11st of July.
