Bud;
I agree that both MvR & Mannock were both over due for a rest. There are a few around that say that Hartmann was a better pilot then MvR because he lived through the war. They fail to see that Hartmann was shot down 7-9 times, and due to his parachute was able to fight again. Comparing WW1 pilots to WW2 pilots is like comparing apples to oranges.
