First Bf109 shot down in history

[David603]

Not that I want to be down on your video, because it looks truly fantastic (here's to the day when we get a flight sim that looks that good ingame), but isn't there some controversy about whether or not Frank Tinker did shoot down that Bf109B? According to Augsburg Eagle, by William Green, which is a very good if admitedly rather old book, the Condor Legion admitted no Bf109 losses on the 13th, and the Bf109 flown by Unteroffizier Honess that is attributed to Tinker on this day fell in fact on the 17th, and not to a fighter which would back up Tinker's second claim but to a Tupelov bomber. Since it is therefore Tinker word vs the Condor Legion's records and their records appear accurate with no other aircraft loss discrepancies, with nothing else to back up Tinker apart from the Republicans crediting him with the kill, and they had already lied about a claim for a Bf09B for a Russian pilot, aren't Tinker's claims in some doubt?
