Re: The best USAAF fighter pilots have been the soviets

perhaps what was meant was that I N Kozhedub had 62 victories and Major Bong (USAAF) had 'only' 40 and if memory serves correctly the top RAF ace had 'only' 38.
(I know someone will correct me if I am wrong)
making the top Soviet ace 1/3 more 'productive' than the USAAF or RAF


four of those top soviet aces scored some of their kills in the P-39 proving that it was not an 'Iron Dog' it was simply not being used correctly by the RAF and USAAF.
how many USAAF aces scored 5 or more kills in the P-39?
