I've no doubt there were but ... given the difficulty in assessment and confirmation in combat, particularly in NWEurope, not to mention their contentious nature, any research on this subject would find many difficulties. Records of successes by individual pilots are rarely mentioned in records, usually just unit claims.

True, some pilots listed claims in their logs, but these were not subject to any assessment process as were air combat claims. The majority of AFVs destroyed could not be attributed to any individual.
