China's Air Force did not give special evaluation to the trump card during World War II. Generally speaking, the lack of circumstantial evidence is not recognized. Many informal records are generated by self-reports or third-party proposals. Coupled with the loss of post-war information, some personal records are not accurate and reports are more frequent. It is generally believed that there are fourteen or fifteen trump cards, and the first three are:
1, Liu Cuigang Dawei
Nicknamed "Zhao Zilong in the air", 193 1 joined the army. He mainly used Hawk 3, 1937 10, and died in a landing accident in 10. Aircraft 1 1 has been confirmed, and there are two more to be confirmed.
2. Professor Liu Da
In the mid-1930s, he joined the army, mainly using model I-16, with nine confirmed aircraft, so he won a nine planets commendation medal, and * * * got 2.33 aircraft, totaling1.33 aircraft, which was officially recognized as the number one trump card in wartime.
3. Captain Wang Guangfu
Mainly using the model P-40E, with a record of 8.5, it is the so-called "trump card of Chongqing times".
United States of America
In the United States, according to the honorary report of the war winners published by the wartime Army Air Force (predecessor of the Air Force), among the statistics of the number of planes shot down by individuals, 40% were confirmed by camera guns, 50% by witnesses, and the rest were finally confirmed by analyzing the wreckage of enemy planes, communication monitoring or other means. What is controversial is how to deal with the number of enemy planes destroyed in the ground attack and the number of enemy planes shot down when two or more planes fire at the same time. In World War II, only the 8th and 14 Air Forces of the United States Army Air Force counted the number of planes destroyed in ground attacks. After the war, people quickly reiterated that the trump card standard should limit the cumulative number of planes shot down in five or more "air-to-air battles." As for the problem of "shooting down with the same fire", as early as the First World War, the United States adopted the method of repeated counting by each person (that is, each shooter counted by one plane). In the Second World War, the situation changed. The United States Army Airlines allocates * * * deputy gunners in proportion, and assigns them to everyone with decimals such as 0.25 and 0.50, while the Navy adopts the "low" calculation method. However, the 5th and13rd airmen of the Army Aviation Company decided who should join his record by drawing lots or according to the commander's judgment, and did not use decimal distribution.
Therefore, some people think that if we use different statistical methods to calculate, the number one trump card of the army aviation may no longer be recognized as Bunger, and the navy may no longer be McBell. In fact, some ace records are still being revised by historians.
The US Army Aviation, Hainan Airlines and Marine Corps Aviation produced1more than 300 ace pilots in World War II. Less than 1% of the 654.38 million pilots who participated in the war at that time. However, the record created by the trump card accounts for 30%-40% of the total record of the three armed forces.
There are 48 people who shot down at least 15 aircraft in the United States army aviation king card. The top three are:
1, Major r. I. Bonger
