When you are good your good...

I think the commonality is that they were both the high scorers in their paticular service in the ETO..Gabby had 31..Johnson 28

Bong and McGuire both scored more in the PTO..

The Krauts flew till they dropped...and had far more opportunity on the Eastern front to run up the score.
