Ok,

I think it was in the Red Baron game, back when they came with actual manuals, that there was history on the individual pilots.

Does anyone recall who was the pilot that was super accurate, and was known to shoot down his enemy with a few bullets as he would "snipe" the pilot?
I vaguely remember that this pilot would come back with only 20 bullets fired

In my defense, I was left unsupervised...

Bill, if you don't get an answer, try here, http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Werner Voss was also renown for his super marksmanship.

There were several. McCudden was also supposedly a "natural" at deflection shooting.

SALUTE TO ALL!
