DOH (as Homer Simpson would say)! I guess I should have clarified
my initial statement with "leading Dr.I ace". Sorry to all, and
thanks for the clarification, Shane. So, drinker@fast.net was the
first to give me the answer I was looking for, but Shane gets the
bells for the "correct" answer. Although, come to think of it, I
know Jacobs' had 48 victories; and I think his kill number while
flying Dr.I's was around 30, but I can't remember the exact number.
I think it was right around 30. I know that Jacobs' is the leading
Dr.I ace, but I forgot about Little, so I never checked to see the
exact number he had while flying Dr.I's. My humblest apologies.
