Great read, thanks much.  I have really been enthralled with Chris Dunning's "Courage Alone" one of my favorite aviation books.

With twenty-six individual victories in aerial fight, Cap. Franco Lucchini was the top Italian scorer by the first World War

He was born on December 24th 1914 in Rome


how can he have 26 individual kills in WWI if he was born in 1914?
