Another version of Trophy Killing is when a killer does not collect body parts but instead, has a tally of people he or she has killed - many fighter-pilots were said to have symbols on their aircraft signaling the number of enemy pilots they had killed. | Another version of Trophy Killing is when a killer does not collect body parts but instead, has a tally of people he or she has killed - many fighter-pilots were said to have symbols on their aircraft signaling the number of enemy pilots they had killed. | ||
