Destroying 'Buzz' bombs was a deadly business. Anyone who says this was
not aerial combat needs to give their a real good shake.

Deactivating unexploded bombs was also dangerous, but it wasn't aerial
combat.

NOTE: If a V-1 was destroyed over England, it only counted for 1/2 a
victory.

The RAF didn't count it at all, only as a V-1 vic. As previously
posted, there were approximately 135 "V-1 aces".
