Re: MARSEILLE his last kill
Two things:
1. In all the excitement, did anyone ever actually come up with an answer to the original question in this thread?
2. The discussions about skill and experience seemed to be passing over combat fatigue/stress. People can only take so much. For very good reasons, the RAF and USAAF flew operational tours; the Luftwaffe kept people in action until death, injury or promotion supervened. Read Robert Forsyth's "JV 44, The Galland Circus" and you come away with the feeling that some of the "greats" were burned out by 1945.
