Here are all the dead DID pilots so far - Olham can show the live ones! They are in date order and the ones without aircraft were dead before I added that bit. However, if any of you want to pm me with the name of the aircraft I will change the chart.

Jim, I will try to keep the "RIP Gravestone graphic" updated occasionally, but as mine only shows
the best one of every flyer's fallen pilots, it might be a good idea to show the complete chart of
fallen pilots once every motnh or so.

Hi Olham, I thought I would take the total chart from you to show how many of us have 'gone west' or maybe east! We can then look to see how many of us are taken out by 'Titanium Fences' or 'Collided with wingman' rather than being shot down by an EA which is an honourable end at least. I think I have the highest hours for a dead pilot at over 30. There is a good Latin phrase for this but I have forgotten it screwy

I think a total record of the 'dead' pilots is a great idea. Thanks, Jim!

CatKnight's 'E' pilot has bought the farm. So far CatKnight is winning the 'race to Z' skullhead

In my own case, it was always the "trying to hard" to get somewhere, that killed me.
Eagerness is my worst enemy.

No, No, No dear Sir! That title belong to me right now. In my frustration I did not send you Edward Eastwoods last tally but he died with over 40 hours. I have sent in my survey this morning.

Thank you for the update, Jim.
Seeing all these names of all these young dudes should make us more modest, I suppose.
But will I remember that, when I am hunting again? ...

The aristocratic Fabian von Fair has gone after 45 hours and 18 victories but he took an enemy with him!
