An ace of the Millennium list that does not include
René Fonck or Hans Jochiam Marsille? Is this a conspiracy? And to leave off Hans Ulrich Rudel is blasphemy. And, I think you hurt Suburo Sakia's feelings. After all, flying back to base through almost 700 miles of Allied airspace, with one eye blown out, a severely screwed up A6M2, fighting unconsciousness the entire way, must count for something. I guess Nowotny, Galland, O'Hare, Nichizawa, Backhorn, Coppens, Berthold, Gentile, Johnson, and Boyington are sh*t out of luck. Alas...To each his own.
