Re: credits for air-to-air victories?

John

I am out on very thin ice here, but I believe the policy with the RAF in WW 2 was to give the pilot the credit. A quick look in Foreman's victory claims of WW 2 there is only what looks like pilots listed for Defiant claims.
The same goes for Blenheim, Beaufighter and Mosquito units. If the policy had been to give credit to the whole crew, I believe Foreman would have done so as well.

Cheers
Stig
