Re: Over 100 air to air kills (The 100 Club)

As well as destroying aircraft it is about killing, wounding or capturing aircrew

Concentrating on loss of aircraft is a polite fig leaf for the real business

Some said that they shot in a way that would allow the crew to escape, I accept that some did that, particularly over their own territory. A damn silly thing to do over enemy territory where they will be back in the air tomorrow trying to kill you again

Lets continue to concentrate on who shot what machine down, its so much nicer this way
