Oh well, I have just pointed out a story I heard, and that a historian must avoid any definite statements, as there are many stories unexpected.

Main conclusion I can see from all those claims matters - that medium and generally poor-known LW experten probably were far better than primadonnas and traditional LW heroes.
I have found several pilots with one or less kills that are generally more reliable than high scoring aces.
Any chances for a more detailed study?

Zweigart is not well known, but actually he probably shot down more than iconic Phillip or Ostermann.
Ostermann, that is intreresting. I have looked through his performances in Normandy, and it did not impress me. Is there anything to suggest, he was a little bit overenthusiastic?
