RAF Aces of WW2
___________________________________________________________ Scoring goes - Destroyed / Probably Destroyed / Damaged If one of those categories shows two numbers separated with a hyphen ( - ) the exact number is not known & the score is considered to be within that range. According to Christopher Shores, the RAF decided that on 12 August 1940 an "Unconfirmed Destroyed" would be reclassified as a "Probably Destroyed." Here you will find early "unconfirmed" claims represented in the "probable" spot. Other RAF Aces not found on this page can be found on the page of their home country. For example, hi-scorer Pattie Pattle is on the South African page. If you're not sure what country he was from, go to the main page (click that acesofww2 logo up there) and use the search feature (near the middle of the page) to search for his name OTG = On The Ground, OTW = On The Water, KIA = Killed In Action, It should be noted that although we take great care to make these scores as accurate as possible, the main reason for this site is to put faces to names, not to be a definitive list of scores. If you have a photo or info or know something I don't, you can smarten me up by TIP : To search this page or practically any other document, hit "Ctrl + f " ___________________________________________________________
