Good points, Bewolf. I would, however, take exception to the conclusion of masses of inexperienced pilots overwhelming the pros. Part of the American 100-mission (not 25 - that was just for bomber crews) rotation was to have the experts teach the novices what they learned. If you take any limited time-frame and compare the best pilots from any nation, you will find that within the same periods the scores were about the same.
