I had hesitated to comment on the subject under consideration believing that, while the aircraft had different attributes, neither was outright superior to the other. Yet Billik must be regarded as a superior airman. An unusual (though not uncommon) situation: a superb record, but, a lack of celebrity.

Ironically Billik is probably most renown for not earning the Pour le Merité!

Once again Russ I applaud the observations made on tactics employed by the Jastas. Frankly the difference in the perception of combat in the later days of the conflict between the opponents has proved baffling at times ... how could each be correct ... the analysis provided would seem to support both visions. It would be most interesting to find documentation of the development and application of such methods ...

Salut mon ami!
