So what did Harman and Francis Garbreski (US P47 Ace) have in common??

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.
