Tactics question

[Graham Boak]

If you read the stories about Marseille at the top of his scoring run, the remainder of the team were simply standing aside and admiring the skill - whilst presumably guarding his tail. There may also be an element of greed, of course. If there was to be a kill, the boss was allowed to get it. Or perhaps insisted? Comments have been passed elsewhere that the Luftwaffe fascination - if not obsession - with building the scores of their leading aces may not have been the most optimum way of fighting the war.
