Not to mention that there was snow and cloud cover all over the area where these clashes took place - and nobody wants to trust a fighter pilots' navigation skills (or 60 year old memory)100%..

Pretty much have to depend on crash site reports in a lot of cases - and the Germans were nots nearly as meticulous in keeping those records in 1945.
 
good thoughts Mike. probably the second one.

I note 22 pilots of the 361st fs flying the date, 20 for the 360th fs

Barnhart of the 360th 1 destroyed
Ted Urban of the 360th 1 destroyed

361st fs
C. Ashby 2 destroyed
W. Baskin 1 destroyed
the above two pilots then shared 1 destroyed
C.Burdick 2 destroyed
Hooker 2 destroyed and 1 Me 262 damaged over Hesepe airfield
Don Strait 1 destroyed
M. Baylor 1 destroyed
W. Jarvis 1 destroyed

Thank you all for the very interesting reading here, so I will share this with you this holiday weekend.
