my biggest waste was a P47 pilot with 9 kills after 439 missions.

He's obviously talented enough to stay alive, but he certainly needs to work on his gunnery!

-F-

I think this was late war when the best japanese pilots were armed with an Anti Tank bomb and cringing in a foxhole.

I know the P47 drivers did a lot of ground attack.

While waiting for AE...

We have had a few 'name your most exp pilot' or 'name your pilot with the most kills' threads in the past - let's turn this around and name the pilot with the lowest experience and a kill.

Mine is 2LT Hayasi R. with exp 46, 4 missions and one kill while piloting a Ki-61-Ib Tony in the 19th FtrSentai.

My lowest exp ace pilot is WO Juni, R. with exp 69, 32 missions and five kills piloting a Ki-43-Ib-Oscar in the 26th FtrSentai.

Here's mine:

Lowest experience with a kill - WO P. Itaya, experience 51, 1 kill, 1 mission flying a Ki-61 from 1 Fighter Sentai over Burma.

Lowest experience ace - WO O. Kagawa, experience 72, 6 kills, 9 missions flying a Ki-61 from 50 Fighter Sentai over Burma.

9 May 43 stock PBEM.

Edit: They're both still alive too!
