I "assumed" ( NEVER assume.... Felix Unger) that it was the leading Dr-1
ace also. It might be a tie, however, for my records show "about" 34 or 35
of Jacobs victories coming in the Dr-1. :-)

He should win a prize anyway for the most outrageous color scheme!!!!
(see Dr-1 datafile on Dr-1.. special page on Jacobs' plane)
