	World War II
		World War II World War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history of the world, involving the great majority of the world's nations, being fought simultaneously in several major theatres, and costing approximately 55.5 million lives (see below).
		The war was fought mainly between an alliance of the British Commonwealth, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China—collectively known as the Allies; and the Axis Powers, an alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan.
		After the war, many high-ranking Germans were prosecuted for war crimes, as well as the mass murder of the Holocaust committed mainly on the area of General Government, in the Nuremberg trials.

	SOUTH AFRICAN AIR ACES OF WORLD WAR II - South African Military History Society
		This is because many fine pilots never became aces, either through lack of opportunities or sheer circumstance, or because they were killed or injured before they could build up their scores.
		As Christopher Shores and Clive Williams point out in their comprehensive, albeit inaccurate book, "Aces High" (Neville Spearman, 1966), "to judge a fighter pilot purely by the number of his victories is as unfair as to judge an angler purely by the number of fish he catches".
		During the course of World War II the ace pilots claimed something over 60 per cent of all confirmed victories, though during the early years of the year this percentage was considerably higher.

		After the war, Jim Swett worked in the family business as a manufacturers' rep, and stayed in the Marine Corps Reserve until 1970, when he retired as a Colonel.

		Around a dozen AAF aces scored five kills with the P-39, although this total was far outstripped by the Soviet Red Air Force, whose pilots rated the Aircobra as one of the best lend-lease fighters of the war.
		The exploits of both air forces are covered in detail in this title, as is the limited use made by the RAF of the Aircobra in 1941.
