Snautzer - it is interesting to read them because you can spot a claim or two out of ten that causes you to ask "are you really sure this guy didn't recover from the inverted spin you last saw him in, etc, etc"
I have seen more than a couple that leave a question mark or two and sure a percentage of awards just flat weren't destroyed.
Of my father's seven confirmed, one prob and one damaged I know the Damaged actually crashed on September 11 because he met him at Paris airshow in 1976..
I also have questions about an award on 28 July for a 109 that probably went in as described near Mulhausen - but I can't find a corresponding LW loss to match it. He chased a guy that he wasn't hitting very much, said guy appearing out of control and diving at top speed into a low cloud deck, dad and wing pull out and turn back under to find burning wreckage under the cloud deck.
Confirmed, probably reliable but can't find a match on LW side. For that area should be JG300, JG27, JG 53 and possibly III./JG3 starting to pull from France to central Germany, but?
Regards,
Bill
PS this forum would be a good place to put the link on the art you showed on Experten!

I have posted several of these over the last year and it is a good idea to research the opposite-German side as to what they did in relationship to the US fighter pilots. Glad they are up

Polite bump for the newer members.
There are hundreds of these reports on spitfire performance, from the battle of britain onwards. This one is my favourite http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/74-stephen-30nov40.jpg
