I think i remember hearing about a single Snipe taking on 60 Folker D IIVs and downing 5 of them before crash landing on his own side of the lines. Can anyone confirm this and give more details?

I'm sure he did something great but 60 DIIV's seems a bit suspect to me. Were there ever 60 of them in the sky at the same time across the entire front? What would be the point of having 60 in the same area anyway?

Germany had 800 Fokker D.VIIs available at the front at the start of the last month of the war. So, the ability to assemble 60 or more would definitely have existed. Also at this time, knowing they were seriously outnumbered in the air, the German air force, instead of contesting all sectors of the front, concentrated their best units at a few points were they wanted to obtain local air superiority. Therefore, a large number of the latest fighters in the air together would not be inconsistent with German tactics and capabilities.
