This lead to the plane negotiate tough landings. Apparently, none of these planes was destroyed as all pilots could execute emergancy landing, dealing various degrees of damage to the plane in turn. These planes, if recovered, could be returned to operation and would not be lost to the german war effort. However, that being said, while they would not be counted as "destroyed", they would all be tabulated under "forced landing" -which is about as good as a loss for historians.critical masshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366274198749901618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-55358471386111043512015-07-08T23:46:34.888-04:002015-07-08T23:46:34.888-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945882563364343771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-56849298459037739552014-05-23T07:15:52.652-04:002014-05-23T07:15:52.652-04:00they aren't kills. the soviets will just give ...they aren't kills. the soviets will just give them back ;-)Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-64191650795443669092013-07-03T12:06:09.083-04:002013-07-03T12:06:09.083-04:00Out of interest, were those in soviet teritory whe...Out of interest, were those in soviet teritory when they crashed. Because a more lenient interpritation might be that when the plane crashed, the wreck was visited by a technician who ruled that about 60% of the wreck could be recycled (i.e. engines repaired and re-used, aluminium melted down a re-used) but due to the combat situation, no salvage work was done. During the Battle of Britian, a supprising ammount of shot down Spitfires were repaired.Conte_Vincerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646396052012607086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-50060175334607873832013-06-28T08:48:26.244-04:002013-06-28T08:48:26.244-04:00So who attributed damage ratio to these wrecks?

Is the English legend present in pictures at Russian archives or is this a reprint?
