Hiroyoshi Nishizawa from Japan is credited with 113 kills.
Juutilainen, Eino Ilmari from Finland is credited with 94.17 (.17 ??)

Well now that just muddy's things up don't it. I guess we will have ETO and PTO the .17 I don't understand either.but then that is just another for the list.
Should we ask a new question or?
later

Oh, I wasn't aware of him. The references found with a quick googling seem to agree that he personally claimed 87 kills, while he's often cited with scores well over one hundred.

According to the last link, estimates go from 20 to over 200, with 87 being the most widely accepted number today.

It doesn't matter though at this point, as I completely forgot having posted in this thread, causing it to stagnate for quite some time when people waited for my turn.
Sorry.
That won't happen again.

that's ok I think a little cooling off was probably good for it. your links are interesting .

There are several aces on the aces list who's totals are listed with several figures.

I do know the US counted shared kills and several pilots have a .5, but .17 means that 6 people shared in the kill.

I used the link below for my figures. As for whos next. It doesn't matter. You can do another or EEtu can go again.

Anybody know who makes a good YAK 1

Hi Kelly

There's the Accurate Miniatures kit, re-released by Eduard: https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/review/1714

All the best

Rowan

Thanks a bunch Rowan. I am looking for one.. no luck right off though.

I thought "Who makes a good Yak 1" was your question and the answer was going to be "New Zealanders".

Of course making a good Yak 1 depends totally on using fresh fruit.

Jeeezzee why do I even try... now where did that yak go.............. Here yakkiy yak

ok here we go.
This aircraft broke apart on landing because of what?

Of course you will have to figure out what it is too..

This actually got airborne?

not only that but they put guns on it...

Found it! You would pick one from right down the back of the book, wouldn't you!

It's a Tupolev ANT-23 (I-12).

How's that?

And it crashed because on of the recoilless rifles that make up the two tail booms (!) blew up and, weakened, the plane turned over on landing.

Is this where the term "tailboom" came from?

You got it... Over to you.
I wonder who they con'd into flying the thing.?

What is this and what is one of its more unusual features?

A chopper and so far that is as far as Ive gotten does it turn into a car

No takers so far?

It's British. That should narrow it down a bit.

You like your copters Graeme, that thar bird is a Fairey Gyrodyne.
Good to see this thread active again.

You got it, JP.

And the interesting factoid about it is the use of an outrigger tractor propellor as an anti-torque device.

Over to you.

Grubby.

Forgot I got this right OK. What is this? and what is it attached to.
The copyright is still attached to the image. But you would only be cheating yourself,
and letting the whole class down

That sure look like a Nieuport, but the walls behind it sure looks like the Swedish Airforce museum, so I will put my money on the Ö1 "Tummelisa".

Is it a Sopwith Pup?
