Re: MARSEILLE his last kill
Hello
I understand where you are comming from. However, I would of thougt that combat fategue would start to arode the advantage of greater combat experence. I read some where that only one USAAF 8th airforce pilot, with over 15 kills, was lost in air to air combat. This was Ralph Hofer. A lot of the German high scorers were lost in air to air combat against pilots who did not have the same combat hours as them. I admit that some of these aces would of been shotdown by planes they did not even see, so no real duel would of taken place. However some of the pilots did have running battles and they lost. I supose that if your plane is supirior and you are a good flyer, this may out weigh the more experienced pilot in a lesser plane. Regards David
