Re: German night fighter top aces by NJG

Hi Michael

I believe the expression "Ghost pilot" means never existed. Variations on what a pilot is believed to have got and actual are for many reason i.e points system, pilots obscurity/death, whether or not unconfirmed are included in the total, and just exaggeration..........and this is usually not by the pilot himself.
Perhaps also in rare case properganda!

Kind Regards

Johannes
