The Franco Lucchini Air Asset in Desert War can enhance Counter-air and Interdiction missions during game play. On the Allies side, who do you think best represents similar capabilities? Why should he be included in the game?

Best answer will have an equivalent Allies Air Asset included in the game.

Three New Zealanders mention here https://nzhistory.govt.nz/war/the-north-african-campaign who won the VC.

Gerhard Homuth won Knights Cross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Homuth

Status: offline 		Let's narrow this research down abit. I need aces (German, Italian, Commonwealth) who shot down the equivalent of a squadron (~12-16 aircraft) DURING their time in North Africa.

So far we have:

Marmaduke Thomas St John Pattle (CW)
Clive Robertson Caldwell (CW)
Gerhard Homuth (GE)
Hans-Joachim Marseille (GE)
Franco Lucchini (IT)

Who do you know? Point me...I'll figure out the rest. All I need is a name.

Go get it. Report back.

Canadian James "Stocky" Edwards. He had at least 17 kills although some were after the time period of the game.
