Ok but are we talking claims of actual losses???? Also what sources are you using????
Yeah I think your right we were discussing this over on some other forums and I got it mixed with some info that was imputed from Lundstrom in...
Sorry about that guys I thought it was Lundstrom that said that,at least not in PH to Midway . Now I seem to remember that the Zero did better...
The USN/USMC with it's F4F's managed an equal kill ratio with the IJN/A6M's with or without using special tatics furthermore the Thach Weave ,if...
Were they fighting IJN/A6M's or IJAAF/Ki-43's??? The Flying Tigers were credited with tangling with Zero's but in fact basically were fighting...
I think over Darwin it was like 26-32 Spitfires V's lost in air to air combat to like 3 Zero's & 1 Ki-43. Further remember that the Zero's had to...
In the discussion on this video it seems some think the Germans built the best of everything. Some still hold to it took 5-6 Shermans to knock out...
The only thing I have to say as to who to blame for PH is what the war itself told us about carrier airstrikes. How long did both IJN & USN...
The Spitfire V versus Zero was discussed over on The Great Planes website also ,it didn't turn out too well for the Spitfire V's. Of course there...

Don't know if I agree fully on HS-293 or Fritz devastating the Allied fleets in the North Sea, for one the Allies did figure out how to jam such...
Found something interesting. Ludwigslust aerial combat
I like Tillman's work but how good is this book? Amazon.com: Whirlwind: The Air War Against Japan, 1942-1945: Barrett Tillman: Books
Amazon.com: Hell to Pay: Operation DOWNFALL and the Invasion of Japan, 1945-1947 (9781591143161): D. M. Giangreco: Books
I saluted you and agree with alot of what your saying,at least about governments, but I really,really don't think the average Russian had much say...
OK well I'm putting my two cents worth in on this "mis-inderstanding" bit. I live in the US and well remember in high school it being brought up...
Volga Boatman, I think if the US was invaded by the likes of Hitler's Germany you may have seen something like what the SU was able to do...
Ok let me see then..you state "modern day crews" right? Modern day crews operating the turrett traverse in modern demonstrations maybe an entirely...
