cheddar cheese said:Not all pilots wanted to be aces - In a recent documentary about Spitfires and the Battle of Britain, one pilot commented on how he thought the idea of tallying kills was a silly idea, and that all they went up to do was the job of protecting their country - the last thing on their minds was how many theyd shot down.
But the whole point is to shoot down the enemy, that's how you protected your country. Any fighter pilot who didn't realize this wasn't much of a fighter pilot!
