Re: The first ace to reach a certain score
Could be. But it is irrelevant, since most of Erich Hartmann's claims -even where the AC types are specified- are unreliable anyways.

Re: The first ace to reach a certain score
That's OK, but I am. I did enough research to see how poor Hartmann's tally is. His claiming reliability is way under 30%. The math is easy to apply this to his 352. I was actually shocked to see his real performance while writing the book:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Verified-Vi...6&unfiltered=1 What really bugs me is that because of Hartmann's false and inflated record, the truly most successful fighter ace of all times (which also has to be a German pilot) 78 years after the war still did not get the recognition he deserves... Gabor |
