| ahhh, alright, that clarifies a good deal on your stance jabber, i apologize if i jumped the gun a bit. and apologize for the oversight on my part of 103's designation, get accustomed to writing Sqn too often and it becomes force of habit :-S. i however, am not a big fan of ambiguity in historical records. as it's all too common and can lead to serious problems in determining what exactly did happen(kill records during conflicts like the Battle of Britain for example :-S). i like to stick with the figures of Galitzine's flight as they're documented and are very often cited as being the "official" record. i will admit there is a lot to debate with Galitzine as well, on political grounds. 1. Galitzine was a russian prince, royalty, so that could have something to do with the fame of his action. 2. the fact that it was over england itself, where the main bodies of the press and media and focus was. yet until it can truly be proven otherwise, i personally like to stick to my stance on galitzine, but that's just me. i again apologize for any jumps to conclusions i made on what you were saying, but that is my stance thus far.
