It is a bighead in English. Do I understand correctly that you consider yourself a smallhead?
You should be awared that there were 4 other claims on 3.06.1942 and 10 on 1.09.1942. Having no combat reports of all the airmen engaged I am not certain how can you assume all the losses were inflicted by Marseille. Also, I am not sure if you have any access to casualty reports, so again how do you know exact circumstances of those losses?
Fighters over the Desert is 30+ years old, before many files were declasified. Relying on it is problematic.
H-J Marseille was no doubt above average pilot but most of his successes were achieved in a quite comfortable conditions. With the appearance of Spitfires in the MTO, this period ended, however. End of the Marseille's legend was about to come and it was only his (mis)fortune he was killed in an accident.
