Re: Bomber Aces
Smudger
The problem is that those propaganda claims are actually aerial victories recognised and confirmed by authorities. Sorry, I do not have will, knowledge or authority to revise any officially accepted figures. I understand that approved scores of such pilots like Bader or Johnson should remain untouched. It is a history. Of course, we may and we should research the other side but in most cases our knowledge and possibilities are too small to accuratelly describe what had happenned 60 years ago. Returning to the subject of this thread. The question was about US 'bomber aces'. Mr Horowitz provided a reply, that once they were credited with 49 German aircraft destroyed, one gunner being responsible for 7 kills was promoted and sent back home. Did he provide inaccurate info?
