Thanks Frank

Was Outlaw an ace when he engaged the Avenger?

Cheers

PS: I have just Googled and found an entry for him. On 29/4/44 he led eight Hellcats against 36 Zeros, of which 22 destroyed and eight probables were claimed! Five and one probable by LtCdr Outlaw!! How do these claims stand up against Japanese losses?
