You guys love to harp on this. I'll give you three are debatable, but saying he crashed five is complete bullshit.

#4 he was just sitting in his plane on the deck of his aircraft carrier when he was hit with a rocket from one of the other planes. That is definitely not a "crash".

#5 he was shot down by enemy fire. If getting shot down makes you a crappy pilot then I guess the Red Baron was a crappy pilot too.
