Re: In hindsight, who was the top day scorer?

Jim, I personally don't need to 'get over' anything. When you contact people who played major roles in a conflict and they behave in suspicious ways, it begs questioning. And Nick, considering the period in which Stigler's encounter with the Fortress took place, I think the consequences for deliberately NOT destroying it would have been severe, from the German side. I'm in no way saying that some sort of action didn't happen, but the degree of media participation in this event, and they way it was presented at the time, leave me suspicious. I had dinner with Stigler and Charlie Brown, the captain of the Fortress, and clearly these were both brave aviators.
