Re: USAAF Pilots Who Scored Victories Over The Romanian Air Force
If you have the possibility to go though 1,14,31,52,82,325 FG's history books and various pilot memoirs ,there are various claims confirmed and unconfirmed, however and to my knowledge Hatch is the single pilot with 5 confirmed and an awarded SStar by Twining for such achievement on this theather of ops . The records are held however by 3 Soviet pilots who shot down 6-7 Romanian planes on the same day and one with 19 confirmed victories between March and June 1944 ,last got awarded British OBE for such achievements during activity on the Romanian front .
