Yes! By all means promote him to a high level rear echelon desk job! Performance should always be rewarded thusly![8|]

Right!
When will organizations learn that success at one level is not a sure-fire indicator of success at a higher level?

That's called the Peter Principle - an employee will rise to his/her level of incompetence!

Hi, If it happened all the time i would not have posted the event. Something even more rare occured. June 42 and the first bomber to shoot down enemy AC (I watch all the combats) was a Sonia shooting down a P-40E over PM (watch your aircraft fatigue tired aircraft are much easier to shoot down. Currently the Dutch over Java are shooting down Zeros because the Dutch rest and the Japanese fly everyday.)
I@Ve had bomber aces but only on the Allies side. The B24 Liberators operating by day out of Calcutta, and the RAF's Wellingtons and modified Liberators were shooting down more Oscar@s than vice-versa.
The highest score was a USAAF captain (I forget who) who got to 8 kills before going MIA (and then not due to enemy action)
I have had a feew IJAAF bombers scoring victories, mainly the Sonia@s but they never seem to get higher than '1'. Betty and Nells never semet o hit anything and usuaully die in droves (I guess due to the big unarmoured fuel tanks)
I did have an Aussie Wirraway rear gunner who shot down THREE AM62's in a single engagement...
