Re: Bomber Aces

You correctly mention that the claims were known to be exaggerated and used for propaganda, then why are we still using these obviously inflated figures when discussing the contribution of the US Airforce in Europe, their contribution speaks for itself, do we use proven material or propaganda in our research.
A sweeping statements from someone so passionate about researching and defending the Polish Airforce and its fighter pilots. If I had believed certain posts about the over-claiming of a number of Polish fighter aces, then you are telling me it’s ok, because after all it does not really matter. ? I think not.
Where details / losses or claims are known use them, don’t for pity sake continue to use inflated propaganda and expect to be taken seriously. This is true of most airforces, however it just happens to be Americans who do it on a more regular basis.
