@Cadfael007 I somehow have had the impression WW2AviationGeek is in fact German. I may be mistaken though or he may be kind of "cosmopolitan" (Meaning = I am a Finnish guy whose neighbor is an old British man who has residences in several different countries so he is so cosmopolitan I am not sure how familiar is he still with exact English.

@@WW2AviationGeek Yep. Even more important than lots of kills or successful mission is that you were neither captured nor killed. That would mean good, successful mission even if you did not even make it into an ace.
