I've noticed that the number of single seaters MvR shot down was actually only 35, And the number of single seaters on his tally increased dramatically near the end of the list which signified that things were getting much more difficult in the latter stages of the war (Aug 1917 and up). From Aug 1917-his death in April the following year MvR shot down only 6 two seaters and 16 single seaters. two-seaters were no walk in the park but I'd like to see the other pilot ratios. I think when they fought and who they fought would shed more light on how really good they were in respect to their peers and the opposition as well. This would be a good research project. I only have MvR's stats. I'd like to know more detail about others. MvR was awesome but looking at the tail end of his kill sheet you can almost see his time and luck running out.
