Aircraft that did not quite produce a full top ace
Good afternoon Gentlemen,
I'm a passionate collector of top-aces-by-plane. However, some aircraft did not manage to get included in my collection. The following aircraft had top pilots who did not achieve 5 or more kills in that aircraft for the various reason indicated:

Re: Aircraft that did not quite produce a full top ace
I wonder who was the top scoring German pilot of Arado Ar-196 floatplane. The Ar-196 had seen plenty of air to air combat during WWII.

Hello Edward,
oh that would be interesting. You think the Ar 196 has shot something down ? Have a nice Tuesday, Michael |
Re: Aircraft that did not quite produce a full top ace
see the personal account "Eine Arado Ar 196 gegen zehn Spitfire" by a Hptm Wiegmink of 1./196 in " Bordflieger im Einsatz "

Sounds interesting.
I'll try to find that article. |
Re: Aircraft that did not quite produce a full top ace
Gentlemen,
Well the Arado Ar-196s had in the past during WWII shot down plenty of twin-engined British Beaufighters in the North Sea,Atlantic,Aegean Sea,and elsewhere. I remember reading about a Ar-196 floatplane from the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen that had shot a Beaufighter in 1943. I don't what other Allied warplanes that were shot down by Ar-196s but I like to find out pretty soon! Sincerely, Edward L. Hsiao |

Excuse me I meant to say that the Beaufighter was shot down (destroyed) by one of Prinz Eugen's Ar-196 floatplanes.

Hello Edward,
that's astonishing because a Beaufighter is more pugnacious than an Ar 196, isn't it ? Have a nice weekend, Michael |
