Well this pic is defo Wittmann. A lot of people credit all to him and its justified, but his gunner was one of the best in the business. I dont think he would have racked up anywhere near the number of kills without him.

Statistics for the 588th Night Bomber Regiment/46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment "Night Witches," Part 1. The regiment completed 23,672 missions. Among them: • Battle for the Caucasus - 2920 sorties, • Kuban, Taman and Novorossiysk - 4623 sorties, • Liberation of Crimea - 6140 sorties; • Liberation of Belarus - 400 sorties; • Liberation of Poland - 5421 sorties; • Battle in Germany - 2000 sorties. Which leaves 2168 sorties unaccounted. Not sure how accurate these stats are, from another source than my own research.
