Well I think they should be allowed. I would think it is much more difficult to shoot down an aircraft from a bomber than from a highly maneuverable fighter plane. I think they should be counted.

The fact that Hans-Joachim Marseille isn't included in your list in an embarrassing shame. Did you know the guy would average 15 bullets per kill?

and interestingly as ALL 38 of jonnie's kills were against single engined fighters he's above hartmann in the rankings.....................

I can believe that, hartmann got all of his against aircraft and pilots that were not even the same level so it was easier for him. but none the less he was great.

He never got hit by an enemy plane, but he did have to bail out on a couple of occasions.

Hello guys:

Hartmann never ever got shot down in a dogfight with soviet fighters; never lost one single wingman, ever.

He crashed a few times during his first months of service, cant recall the exact number of times, and had to belly land once after receiving damage from soviet bombers.
