___________________________________________________________ Scoring goes - Destroyed / Probably Destroyed / Damaged If one of those categories shows two numbers separated with a hyphen ( - ) the exact number is not known & the score is considered to be within that range. According to Christopher Shores, the RAF decided that on 12 August 1940 an "Unconfirmed Destroyed" would be reclassified as a "Probably Destroyed." Here you will find early "unconfirmed" claims represented in the "probably destroyed" spot. OTG = On The Ground, OTW = On The Water, KIA = Killed In Action, It should be noted that although we take great care to make these scores as accurate as possible, the main reason for this site is to put faces to names, not to be a definitive list of scores.
