Re: SCREWBALL BEURLING
Shooting down 27 aircraft in just 14 days is the stuff of legend. And, I have to say, highly questionable. Given the (always contentious) issue of claims, just wondering how accurate Screwballs victory claims were? Have each of them been confirmed in the book?
Amazing similarity with another famous Canadian, who claimed 25 kills in just 12 days in WWI.

Re: SCREWBALL BEURLING
Hi Jim
Beurling was credited with 27 victories in 14 days of actual combat over a four-month period, not in 14 consecutive days. Many of his claims can be substantiated. Why not purchase a copy? Cheers Brian
