Hello,
This is my first post here and I am happy I can be here. I have listed for some time the forum and did not find what I want to ask. But maybe it is there somwhere, so I am sorry if it has already been dicussed. In this case please redirect me to the right thread if you can.
So...My question is WHO was that brave british Spitfire pilot who fell as the last victim for Hans Joachim Marseille on 26 September 1942? When Marseille finally landed after that amazing long duel, he was near the state of collapse and expressed his feelings as "what a masterfull adversary"!
When I thought of this, this must have been any excellent dogfighter of the similar level as Jochen. But if it was any really famous pilot I guess I would know who he was. How is than possible the pilot of his abilities was not any british hero with as much victories as Marseille? And this is even valid question in general...How is it possible that the best of Allies reached approximatelly four times less scores than the best of the Germans?
Again sorry if this was discussed, I guess the second part of my post was discussed for sure, but I have not found any satisfactory answer yet.
Thank you very much and best regards
Jan.
