Re: Ace in a day
Hi Laurent,
Thanks for the French and American details. This gives me a starting off point for further detailed research. Nick What I would like to do is establish the official score and then try and tie this in with actual losses. From experience I know that this is not as easy as it sounds. If anyone can help with further details of these claims then that would be appreciated. I only came up with this idea today and I think it wil make a very interesting project. What I have found out is that of the 25 claims by RAF pilots, 3 of which claimed this feat twice, 16 of them flew Hurricanes and 17 occured in 1940, 4 in 1941, 1 in 1942 and 3 in 1943. I guess there was a lack of targets in 1944 and '45. Alex

Re: Ace in a day
If you're also interested in Axis pilots, there were many so-called 'ace-in-a-day', obviously mainly Luftwaffe pilots, but including at least one Rumanian, too.
