Gents, to say he or the other was the best could not do justice to the other. I hae read that there where pilots from Germany thats score was in the hundreds. Was there any of the Allies with such scores. yes the Germans did fight until they where either shot down and killed or died in a plane crash. There where individuals that springs to mind. For me it is Sailor Malan, not only because I am South African, but this man fought with two artificial legs. He had been shot down and turned up as a POW. The Germans even took his legs away from him to attempt to stop his attempts to escape. Now that to me is one of those individuals. Lets not forget the Tuscan airmen, the coloured squadren. At a stage the bomber pilots first refused to fly if they knew these guys where up there to protect them. But when they had the chance they proved that they where worse than a bulldog seeing red with a turbo up his never regions. After that the bomber guys only wanted them for protection. So for the best, no, this can not be said. I think all pilots where the best it was just oppertunaty that had elluded them.
