Curtiss P-40 top ten ace list

Good morning,

a fighter's fighter: the Curtiss P-40 was successful in nearly every WW2 operational theatre except Western Europe. However, quite few aces attained high scores in it. The following are the ten most successful P-40 aces that I know, ranked by their P-40 scores (totals in brackets):
  1. Caldwell: 20,5(28,5)
  2. Novichkov: 19(29)
  3. Drake: at least 16(21)
  4. Pokryshev: at least 15,1(38+8sh?)
  5. Hill: 13,25(13,25)
  6. Hampshire: 13(13)
  7. Holloway: 13(13)
  8. Neale: 13(13)
  9. Edwards: 12,83(16,08)
  10. Waddy: 12,5(15,5)

Compiling them I came across a guy named Robert Lee Scott whose score is unclear to me. Does he deserve a rank in this list ?

Cheers,

Michael
