Good evening and happy new year Gentlemen,
I've worked through Alfredo Logoluso's highly recommendable "Fiat CR.32 Aces of the Spanish Civil War"
https://www.amazon.de/Spanish-Aircra.../dp/B01F9G0F5Y
and wonder if it's possible to identify all aces with 15 or more Spanish Civil War kills. However, it's particularly difficult to find the decimals of the shared kills (s. below).
Cheers,
Michael
