Another of your wonderful contributions. Merci!

gunten tag teacher!

millions thanks for compliments!really very kind from u!!
and yes i'm agree with u,we play a video game,for fun and share our planes passion with friends,...but for these real ww2 pilots ,it was not a game for sure,i think ,they even didn't think 1 second to be an ace but just try to defend their country in same time stay alive as long as possible and sometimes their love for their country was strongest and important than their own life...they were and are the real heroes...i'm not sure that in our modern materialistic world ,we should be able to do the same...they fought for their life ,they fought for their country,they fought for the honor of their flag!....

even if i called this rubric"ace of war",i will add some pilots who had only 1 or 2 or even 0 victories because even if they are not an official aces ,i think to fly in ww2 planes ,fight and survive ,these guys are all the aces!!

i just want to honored them with these humble rubric .


danke teacher!
