WWII’s Most Destructive Plane Killer

Paddy Mayne destroyed the most Axis planes during World War II. He was not a fighter ace but an SAS commando. Paddy along with David Stirling, founder of the Special Air Service (SAS), led daring raids against Axis forces during World War II, employing unconventional tactics such as infiltrating enemy lines and destroying aircraft on the ground. Their strategic ingenuity resulted in the destruction of over 400 aircrafts in just over a year, and Paddy Mayne’s personal score was more than twice that of any Allied fighter ace in World War II.
