I have no problem with that. Pattle definitely should get the VC.
It's just that the message as I recall it seemed to be trying to compare pure numbers of VCs.
The way I see it, regarding the VC awards in WWI, air fighting was a new concept. Consequently just FLYING, deserved a medal in some cases. But by 1939, it was more accepted as an everyday happening. I think that had more to do with the way VCs were handed out more than anything else.
