I wish that it could be possible to ask Frank Olynyk about this.
Army Air Force Victories

"This book lists every pilot who was credited with an aerial victory in World War II while serving with the [U.S.] Army Air Force. A total of just over 7,300 pilots are listed. The Fighter groups are listed in numerical order and all pilots who achieved victories while serving with that group are listed. Because many pilots served with more than one group, all names are indexed in the back of the book.
This is the only reference book to list ALL of the pilots who achieved aerial victories, not just the ones who achieved Ace status."
