I think also the term "worst ace" is not chosen very lucky.

Concerning Fonck: Ca. two years ago I was reading also a source with a list of his victories and the typ of the enemy airplane were often reported very vague or like "enemy airplane". I remember also the verification of his victories were until now rather limited (maybe because of missing typ of enemy airplane or missing time of day - at least some sources claimed that).

Maybe the French forumitee can help us here with a more detailed French source.

BTW: Last week I bought two books containing the French magazin with the name "LŽIllustration" for 1918 - I found a 36 pages report about aviation in war and lots of pictures and photographs of Nungesser, Fonck and so on. Hope to close my "French gap" on this way a little bit.
