Red, White, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Black "13"
How come a lot of the top scorers (and unit leaders) flew aircraft marked "13."
Bartels, Bar, Priller, Oesau, Dahl, Reschke, Scheufele, among others. Coincidence? Or was there something to it? Bronc Last edited by Broncazonk; 18th November 2020 at 02:44.

Re: Red, White, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Black "13"
I agree, lots of top LW pilots did indeed have 13 on their ships. However, there are also quite a number (well over 300) of "just ordinary"pilots with 13. Suppose it is a challenge for the "unlucky" number... like laughing at death.
