US 5th Air Force Top Ten Aces
 
https://acesofww2.com/USA/

Using the website above, it seems the top ten are as follows...

Richard Ira Bong: 40/4/13

Thomas Buchanan McGuire Jr: 38/3/2

Charles Henry MacDonald: 27/2/2.5

Jay Thorpe Robbins: 22/6/4

Gerald Richard Johnson: 22/2/0

Neel Ernest Kearby: 22/0/1

Thomas Joseph Lynch: 20/1/4

William Douglas Dunham: 16/0/0

Cyril Filcher Homer: 15/5/4

Edward Cragg: 15/4/0

Are these the officially accepted tallies for these pilots? And who had the most victories in the Wewak area? Was it Kearby or McGuire?
