Hello everybody,

do you know whether pilots in general would have heard about awards and special accomplishments of other flyers, like 150th victory or the Oak Leaves? If so, do you have any examples/anecdotes/mentions in the literature you can point me to?

I am part of a research project on the victory claims and motivations of pilots. We would expect that hearing about the accomplishments of others increases competitive pressures for pilots.

Thank you for your help!
