Re: German night fighter top aces by plane
I'd say the first two, actually, Peter.
Given that for decades people have just sat and stared at German victory claims knowing nothing better than
Hartmann - 352 - Wow!
Barkhorn - 301 - Awesome!
Rall - 275 - Fantastic!
Perhaps save some pennies and avail yourself of some of the better books that are out there - A History of the Mediterranean Air War by Shores et al, Bergstroem's Black Cross + Red Star series, Fighter Command Losses by Franks, Bomber Command Losses by Chorley....
We don't need to accept victories and tallies with infinite validity anymore, we can now properly respect who the guy in the other aircraft was, name him and remember him. It's not the 1960s anymore, why should the forum be held back by people who don't realise this....?
