Re: Colombia crisis 1948

Years ago, talking to the Colombian air attache at a reception in Washington, he reminded me "We used to have fighter pilot with 158 air-to-air victories, which is a lot more than anyone in the US Air Force". The guy he referred to was ex-Luftwaffe and flew P-47s, but all the victories were on the eastern front.
