Thanks for the very precise detailed explanation of AVCs, drgondog.

When 354th Fighter Group CO Col Kenneth Martin's P-51B collided with a ME-109 on 11 Feb 44 and he became a POW, I presume that he was awarded a confirmed destruction of an enemy a/c.

I know of Cesar Rodriquez, USAF (F-15) being awarded a confirmed kill in the Gulf War for manuvering an Iraqi a/c into the ground. The AVC online list for later conflicts (after WWII) also indicates the type weapon used and the model of a/c destroyed.
