Hello,

has any pilot ever achieved a higher Macchi M.C.200 total than Vittorio Minguzzi's 9,58 [9+3] kills ?

Nice article. My Italian isn't quite good but I understand this table refers to Minguzzi's 8 individual kills during the period Aug41-May42.

Nice website (post #5). I like the aircraft production and loss numbers.

Hello,

I'm still looking for an ace with a higher Macchi M.C.200 total than Vittorio Minguzzi's 9,58 [9+3] kills.
