All the ezinearticles looklike a scam to me. I note an Affiliates program - sound familiar? Dan H Freeman's articles are riddled with spelling mistakes and inaccuracies try this one: P51 - "Infact, it is said that nearly 5 pilots earned the name "Aces" after killing enemies flying this plane." 4.9 pilots perhaps?
