because someone writes a book or even an article, does not make them a 'renowned historian'. that can hurt both ways of the fence for our discussion here...
Wayne, it suprises me that you put that much doubt into your own countryman and national hero, BB.
valid points to be sure....
but let me say this: even if those claims of BB's that he says were destroyed, and we all know many times over that many pilots in the heat of battle claim a plane to be destroyed that were actually fired upon, seen to drop smoking or out of control and then fly back, they would still be considered OOC!
just my view.....
dont worry, im still trying to gaurd your tail Al...
