I cannot speak for our fellow members, but my inaction has nothing to do with my personal opinion in the matter. IMHO Six Nifties is not being fair to the RAF or the British, but that does not imply that I should act as a moderator.
Your host has no preference when it comes to the RAF or USAAF, if at all, he might lean towards the RAF!! So lets keep it at that shall we...

Another issue is that apparently you believe US did not modify their markings this way. Quote:

I don't know what has been mentioned previously on thiws board, but I have a photo copy from Kozhedub's own logbook where it is easy to see that he achieved a total of 62 victories. I made a list based on that source on my Black Cross/Red Star site:
http://www.bergstrombooks.elknet.pl/bc-rs/koz.html It's a pity that the prevailing anarchism which allows anyone to say almost anything on this site allows people like Franek and SixNifty to go rampant and waste a lot of space. Isn't it evident that when no one draws a limit, certain people will cross all limits, and we will see the kind of nonsense and mudslinging which Franek and SixNifty so often are engaged in. This might be an Off Topic post, but I see no reason to have moderators when moderation is not used. Franek's and SixNifty's posts contribute nothing, as usual there is no source reference, and these two guys are only occupied with each other. Why don't you guys post private messages to each other instead, and relieve us others from such nonsense? Or is there anyone who has learned anything on WW II aviation from Franek's and SixNifty's exchange of accusations in this thread? |

Thanks Christer for the kind words, as usual.
Let me tell you again that my role is not one of school teacher. When I start moderating I will do so across the board.

Eventually the rest of the members got fed up enough that he left because of the derision he faced. The same will be true here, I imagine. In other words, don't worry about it. As time goes by, and his methods and tactics become ever more clear, the community will police itself. |

I am not the least bit interested in Kozhedub or his victory claims, but, I have to ask -- do you have copies of gun camera films or other objective evidence that he shot down 62 planes? Quote:
Speaking of nonsense, I picked up a copy of Arthy and Jessen's book on the Fw 190 in North Africa. After reading the mission summaries, it is very clear that your notion suggesting there was no shortage of fuel and did not limit Luftwaffe operations is, a complete fantasy. But I would agree that fueling a five-plane air force is usually somewhat easier than fueling a 5,000 plane air force. Quote:
And Christer, I'll leave 'mudslinging' to you and Franek -- both of you are experten in that theatre of operations. |
