Re: In hindsight, who was the top day scorer?
I am bringing this topic around again to see if there is any movement in finding "the answer"--or at least a better answer.
For whatever reason, I believe correcting the record is important--the history is cherished by young and old literally all over the world--and the history is wrong. (The members of this forum know the "truth" about the official list: Hartmann 352, Barkhorn 301, etc, but the vast majority do not.)
What will it take? A collaboration of the experts on this forum? Funding by an interested benefactor? A publisher willing to be involved?
A problem--THE problem--I think, is Hartmann. His claims were/are sooo unsupportable AND we are at a loss for an explanation as to why. Correcting the record means addressing Hartmann (and the other over-claimers) but this MUST be done in a sensitive and delicate way. (But, what that sensitive, delicate way is, I have no idea, because I can't come up with an explanation that doesn't involve outright fraud.
Still, it must be done...somehow.
