Re: Another Korean - Shootdown databases

I have to concur with Joe. I have few of the PLAAF claims listed on that site 
logged in, and even on days when there are "confirmed" losses the Soviets had 
a lot more and better (relatively speaking) pilot reports of the situation 
surrounding the losses. 

As for the KPAFAC I tend to believe most of the FEAF claims for several 
reasons, chief among them being that there are not many of them. Most of the pilots 
and aircraft engaged were overmatched by US pilots in that period of the war, 
and most of the losses are believeable. Since the KPAFAC will most likely 
NEVER admit to any losses (or at least those where "Hero Pilot" Kim did not wipe 
out at least a carrier's worth of aircraft single handed) doubt any 
conformation will be forthcoming from them!
