Yeah, I just popped into this topic for a look and thought that must be a real rare shot of Johnnie Johnson, or a mistake....I read his story years ago, and he is generally referred to as the Top Scorer, 38 kills. - Although technically our Allies, the Russians were fighting a different kinda War, pretty much by the seat of their pants, initially...I don't know if it's really a fair comparison, the 'Western Front' as opposed to the 'Eastern Front'. - Both German and Russian pilots fought a cruel war compared to the German vs English + Allies in Europe proper...the scores indicate this. One aspect that's often overlooked too is that the Russians had Women pilots, who scored kills, Lydia Litvyak for one scored 12 [plus an observation balloon] out of 213 combat missions. - I take my hat off to them, they fought a real 'ballsy' War !...You could only imagine what happened to them if THEY were shot-down behind German lines...
