Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
Good morning Gentlemen,
with the 10th ranking Hurricane ace having scored 17,5 Hurricane kills, several cool aces miss a rank in the top ten:

Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
I suppose you will only know what they felt they were if the Springboks played the Lions in Rugby or cricket.

Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
Good afternoon Stefaan,
I suppose the Springboks are the South Africans and the Lions are the Englishmen (?) Cricket and Rugby will always remain mysteries to Germans. Cheers, Michael |

Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
Good morning Gentlemen,
I strongly recommend Many Souffan's thrilling Edgar Kain biography in ACES N°8. Despite my limited French skills I had a very good time working it through because the description of Kain's career is so vivid. His final total is given as 17 confirmed, 3 unconfirmed and 2 damaged. In older sources a total of 16 kills can often be found. Which one is the claim in question ? Cheers, Michael |
