There are differences within the war.
If two pilots are engaged in air-to-air combat, one kills the other in said combat it is killing.
If the pilot ejects is alive floating down in a parachute, and the other pilot strafes said 'chuter it probably constitutes murder.
It gets hazy when you then include if a pilot strafing combatants on the ground. They are all armed, and can fire back at the plane, but the parallels are clear when you look at the parachuter.
The devil is in the details. You wish to be black/white on this issue, in which Guru is absolutely correct... the discussion goes no where.
