Does this Dunn guy bother to reference where he heard this 'story'? It seems pretty odd to me- I mean to suggest anyone would be so dim as to claim 3 victories and not fire his weapons is kind of hard to believe without some serious proof LOL The guy would have to be REALLY dumb.
Dunn might be a little more credible if the way he's writing doesn't immediatly smack of sour grapes- suggesting German aces didn't care about their wingmen, who apparently were shot down in droves, and him doubting 13 victories would be possible because of ficticious data- if it was a '109F, for example, 13 would get a simple average of nearly 2 seconds of firing time each, not one, and that could be as many as 77 rounds of mixed 7,92mm bullets (including AP, and incendiary), and a whopping 15 HE, HEI, API, etc. 2cm shells- not a small amount by any reckoning. So this nameless 'ace' story I find really rather doubtful LOL
