Just out of curiosity I google up Galland's tally....

http://www.luftwaffe.cz/gallanda.html

53 Spitfires, 31 Hurricanes.

Eighty-six of his ninety-six victories by the end of 1941 being against RAF fighters, including five aces, three fatally shot down, one seriously burned and out of further combat. The fifth was Al Deere, who would himself survive the war with 32 victories.

When Hitler grounded Galland he did us a real favor.

That early in the war at least there seems to have been considerable chivalry between opposing pilots, both in Europe and in North Africa, Galland refusing to shoot aircrew in parachutes and being instrumental in obtaining new wooden legs for Douglas Bader.

Ya he was on the wrong side fighting for an evil cause but a remarkable pilot nonetheless.
