Dave McCampbell, 7+ и 9+
Кроме Горовца и Рудофера, который как-то с вингманом целый советский иап уничтожил как бы, еще есть люди, сбившие толпу врагов за один боевой вылет.
McCampbell led his fighters against a force of eighty Japanese carrier-based aircraft on June 19, 1944, that were approaching the American Fleet, during the Battles of the Phillipine Sea - He personally destroyed seven E/A plus two probables as the Americans virtually annihilated the attacking force in what became the legendary "Marianas Turkey Shoot".
during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, McCampbell with only his wingman, Lt. Roy W. Rushing, accounted for fifteen E/A destroyed of an attacking Japanese force of sixty planes - McCampbell and Rushing attacking a force of forty fighters while the rest of a flight of five Hellcats, the only available air defense of the American Fleet, attacked the remaining force of twenty bombers. David McCampbell personally destroyed nine E/A plus two probables in the scrap in which the enemy was forced to abandon their attack before reaching the fleet.
