Ohioan Named All Time Leading United States Flier
Capt. Don Gentile of U. S. A A F Fighter Station England is listed as the alltime top United States flier with 27 official air victories, a total he says falls short of his goal. He notes 30 German planes destroyed, with seven on the ground and 23 in air combat, while expressing desire to reach 31 and surpass Eddie Rickenbacker’s World War I mark. The record dispute mirrors a clash between Eighth and Ninth Air Forces over how to credit ground strafing versus aerial victories.
