Yes Karl. Maybe the US pilots confront to the same odds of German pilots could achieve similar success against his enemis. But to say that allied pilots could achieve the same scores confronted to the same odds (overwelming numbers or inferior fighter against the american or brtitish fighters) is mi...

Gentlemen, A very controversial subject! I think that one of the reasons that the German pilots had such a success rate was due to the opposition they had at the time. Not that this is to disparage their skill or courage in any way, but at the beginning of the war they accounted for a great many Br...
