Yukiyoshi Wakamatsu
Not trying to start anything, but how many of Yukiyoshi Wakamatsu's 18 victories can be confirmed/verified?
Thanks, James

Re: Yukiyoshi Wakamatsu
Good afternoon James,
very interesting issue. I think Wakamatsu scored 13 Ki-44 kills and 7 Ki-84 kills which renders him the top ace of the former and one of the best aces on the latter. Unfortunately, I do not know how many of his kills can be verified. All of his kills were against fighters with at least 9 P-51 kills. The exact number would be very intriguing to know because Wilhelm Steinmann, the top Mustang killer of the German Luftwaffe, has only 12 P-51 kills. Kind regards, Michael |
