Country:  | Douglas Bader was on there as well, on the previous version of this poll. He got 1 vote......... 1............ Quote: |
Whos that half blind Jap ace...Saburo Sukai...or what ever his name was. He should be there.
| Saburo Sakai was a great pilot, but most consider him inferior to Nishizawa or Iwamoto... There were some really great pilots that flew for the Rising Sun... Quote: |
Great stuff on BOB Johnson Les, but the list has James Johnson, 38 kills, AKA Johnnie Johnson?!?
| That is correct buddy...... Johnnie was the leading British Ace..... I had Paddy Finacune on there as well last poll and he got 2 votes I believe...... I consider Paddy the Greatest pilot to come off the British Isles........ He shot down Galland for crying out loud.........
OK i will put together another poll and have it up and running this evening... There will be some differences, but I will go through the other polls and combine all the info I can, as well as bios............
Its very time consuming guys....... The problem with this poll is that most people just vote for their favorite Ace, not who they think is the Best.....
