the classical one is the pursuit of an aircraft which tries to evade and colides with a compatriot... i think that would be credited as two kills... Thanks Mike for the triplane angle, I hadn't read about that before but logically that would also make sense...

The main reason for starting this thread is the argument that a 'true ace best be unconquered in the air' which I believe to be total nonsense, especially given the amount of near misses, etc. The evidence that is used to support this is often very laughable (lewis gun drum theory... could have just the same colided with a pigeon....).... coming out I am getting some new angles and the other question is what happened to the momentos... surely the invading red army would not have appreciated these things in 45?
