Re: Bomber Aces with min. 500 combat missions list
FF - Feindflug - are the number you are looking for here. These are 'flights/sorties against the enemy'. All other flights would not be included in this category. A lot of these guys would have numerous other flights, training, Werkstattflug, Frontflug, courier flights and whatever. The last would be particularly true for commanders. I suspect this may be why some of the flight numbers you have are way off. The only way to get truly accurate counts is through a LTB or other LW documents, or better yet a Flugbuch. Bätcher & Kuntz's FB are out there in trading circles - both of which I still need to acquire myself.
Sure, a board such as this is for asking questions, but there is a big difference in asking a question and posting a lengthy list and asking others to 'fill in the blanks'. Like I said before, I was happy to spend a couple of hours to help you out and point out sources for you, but 'helping out' ends there and turns into 'gimme'. BTW, you may not be able to afford to buy a suggested book, but there are libraries and inter-library loan.
