  1. What does count as a kill does seem to have a wide interpretation. I seem to remember that the Germans had no problem counting aircraft strafed on the ground as a kill in WW2. And America will allow a kill if an enemy aircraft flies into the ground while in combat with an American aircraft as a maneuver kill. So why not.

  2. I also thought of the Gloster Gladiator but then I remembered its entering service date was 1937. Right on the cusp of the transition to monoplanes. I think Gloster's claim to fame is the fact that it went from biplane to jet, the Gloster Meteor, without a propeller drive monoplane in between.
