Everyone would think it was Marseille with 18, but it's not. It was a pilot on the Eastern front, but I forget his damn name. I just re-read "Horrido!" 2 weeks ago too lol.

I'm driving there with my mother, since I'm only 17 and don't have a license yet.

She supports my hobby profoundly.  

p.s. the answer is Emil "Bully" Lang of JG 54, he scored these 18 victories of Keiv at the end of October 1943, by this time the VVS wasn't equipped with bi-planes as during the opening phases of Barborossa. In my opinion, the VVS started getting their toejam together by early '43 over Stalingrad and battles of the Kuban. It is said that by early 1944 the LW had some 350 fighters along the Eastern front, while the VVS operated 10x that many.
