Re: Fighter aces claims vs evidence
Thanks for the comments, guys.
I know it is impossible to fully verify all claims for all pilots. What I was hoping for was to perhaps be able to see a list of all the top aces' official claims (which we already have and which are no doubt inflated in many or all cases as suggested in the many threads on the topic) against their verified claims (which would surely be less than their 'true' totals). Cheers Peter |

Re: Fighter aces claims vs evidence
Good evening Peter,
if my memory serves me well, top Spitfire pilot James Johnson himself once scrutinized the Spitfire claims of the top Spitfire killer Josef Priller. He found matching losses for everyone of them. But I cannot relocate the source where I read that... Michael |
