Re: Italian aircraft and their top aces
Hello Micheal.
I have the Osprey version of the book by Keskinen and Stenman, but it only gives overall total kill figures without specifying probables.
It seems the Biplane Aces site has taken figures from a different version of the book - perhaps the one referred to by Juha. Unfortunately, the only other high scoring biplane ace was Puro, so other than for him there are few or no probables figures.
If someone can provide the probables for each pilot, that would be great!
I personally am interested in -
Juutilainen, Wind, Luukkanen, Lehtovaara, Tuominen (we have), Puhakka, Puro (we have), Katajainen, Nissinen, Karhila and Karhunen.
Please note there are other discrepancies too - for example, Ciel de Gloire lists Puro's second kill as a Pe-2 on 12/11/42, but Biplane Aces lists the same as damaged.
Cheers
Peter
