Al: Welcome back! The millennium hasn't been the same without you.
Now let's argue, connive, wheedle and snivel.
Bishop? Bishop Tutu?
Rickenbacker? Don't they make guitars???
Other non-Finn Buffalo aces were Clare and Vanderfield of No. 453 Sqn.
Gabreski's kill ratio was 1.473 per engagement in WW II and he also led squadrons & wings in Korea. Johnson's was 1.421. However, best average among the top the 56th FG guys was Fred Chrisetensen at 1.653 and Mahurin at 1.645 with Schilling at 1.5(Zemke 0.95)
Lance Wade's figure was 0.884 (though he does remain the only American citizen to make ace in the Hurricane.)
Ain't statistics wonderful?
