I've seen some pilots totaling up to 10 plus kills but they've been online for most of the day - not one hour and not necessarily repeatable.
I've been flying for many years and In my mind I'm convinced that there are good pilots out there that have some additional augmentation going on. The stats indicate that possibility.

A few patches ago, when I was flying regularly and my kills were sharp, if I found some low-flying Red fighters I could easily get 5, maybe 6 kills in one sortie. Aiming was always my weakest point, and on a particularly "I'm shooting well today"-day I could get more than 6 in one sortie.
Bombers are a f***ing joke in this game: On ATAG there are those AI bomber flights that don't do evasives and fly nice, predictable routes. On some maps there used to be huge numbers of bombers, and the damage models are so bad in this game that I could shoot down a Blenheim or Wellington with only ~150 rounds of machine gun fire. No cannon required. Contrary to your claim, there is plenty of ammo in the 109, and even more in the 110.
I am/was an above-average pilot but still very far from the best. I'm not saying this to pump myself up; just to show how there are perfectly reasonable explanations. There are lots of guys out there who have put wayyy more time into the game than I have, and get proportionally better results than I do.
If you take into account AI bombers, 14 kills in one sortie doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility.
Honestly if I spent a week practising my aim and was very fuel-conservative I bet I could get 14 bomber kills in one 109 sortie, assuming the AI spawns cooperated.
There are a lot of really, really bad players flying this game, and it doesn't take much skill to sit around beating up on them.
