In "Air Combat" (a Time-Life book) pp. 78-79 there is a spectacular air-air combat photo apparenently taken through the cockpit by the RIO of an F-4 Phantom. The F-4 is flying about 1,000 meters above the desert rolled about 45 degrees to the left. Below on the left edge of the photo an Egyptian...

Post was too long -so I had to edit out Bishop. Billy Bishop (55 Credited Kills / 72 Official Victories) 20 of 55 Claims ( 36.4%) -more recent evaluation of German Records than at billybishop.net/bishopP.html as per Al Lowe 6 Oct 98 2 of 55 Claims ( 03.6%) -It seems highly unlikely...

Joe, I guess my assessment of ACIG was premature -it sure gave the impression of in depth research. How do you evaluate their computation of US claims vis a vis communist force losses in Korea and Vietnam? Arab-Israeli wars? -Rob

May list all known Jet air-air victories -many matched with victims -make sure you check out the lists. Articles -Rob

I had to severly curtail my post, as it was too long. In it's original form, it began with: CAVEAT: I’ve started what I think is an interesting and potentially important thread: While I recognize this endeavor will be imperfect (in some cases highly), it may provide a SENSE of the actual...

No, I am 100% certain there is a photo of MvR on a bicycle as well as another of him jumping a horse in a steeplechase (?) race, as there is a photo of Voss with his motorcycle. I am pretty sure that Concorde247 is correct in indicating that it was in 'Under the Guns of the Red Baron.'...

Thanks, No. I'm sure I saw a photo of MvR (as he liked to write his Signature) on a bicycle -I'm not confusing this with the photo of Werner Voss (48) next to his motorcycle. But I wouldn't mind seeing the photo of him riding the horse either. I am willing to trade photos or data for...

I remember seeing a photo of WWI Ace of Aces Manfred von Richthofen (80 Kills) on a Bicycle somewhere. If anyone could post this pic, or post a link, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I guess my irritation got the best of me. It never occured to me that there could be a way remedy the situation on an individual basis. However, I'm sure that many new users have had or would have a similar reaction, and have either not bothered raise this issue, or else shied away from this...

Thanks for the swift and constructive input. As I ended my post "Respectfully" I thought I made it clear that my intention was not offend -it was just to remedy a situation which I found highly irritating. I think part of the problem is as follows, while I am far from an internet novice, I am...

I realize I'm new to this forum and that I'll probably get banned for life for this, but these 'Large Pics as Personal Emblems on bottom of Post' thing has got to eliminated! Don't get me wrong, a lot of these sigs are great, but after the first time viewing them, they get increasingly annoying...
