[Nick Hector]

Johannes, Gabor

Thanks for your replies to my question (...which I hope didn't come across as harsh, just burning curiosity). The thing being it had appeared as though very strict criteria had been applied to everyone in the volumes except Hartmann (and perhaps Barkhorn) when perhaps it was known that the sources that Hartmann's later tally, even post-Toliver and Constable were not fully substantiated and not fully certain. I had always understood the point that Gabor was driving at, and NickM sums it up very well too: our knowledge increases and improves as more archival material is examined and added to our base of knowledge.

Will there be a second edition to the Aces' Biographies series in years to come? I hope so...
