People,
Reputations are nothing more than a story put out by word of mouth. True he had 80 kills, true he always fought on his terms, true he picked out rookie pilots and brought down two seaters, but don't forget he made his own rookie mistake that cost him his life (which BTW he made while in pursuit of a rookie pilot). As far as killing 18 and 19 year old kids... I have to quote Rule .303 on that one... "In war it is customary to kill the enemy" said Breaker Morant.
VBR,
Jim
