Re: Italian aircraft and their top aces
Juha, thank you again for your most informative and helpful reply. The bla-bla is most welcome.
I know that some of the probables will be right, and some not. The difficulties in determining that are too numerous to overcome - loss of records, no time to spot a/c crash, no witness, no ground or enemy confirmation, unreliable claimer, and so on. I generally pay some regard to the probables claims when "ranking" the aces, but as a rule of thumb might allocate 1 in 3 or 1 in 2.
It is very interesting to learn how the scoring variations developed. Simply not accepting claims from dangerous areas seems an excellent final solution to a difficult problem to me.
Oh, and I haven't worked out how to do the special characters for umlaut etc in this forum.
Thank you again
Peter
