[Frank Olynyk]

For one of his books on the Wildcat Barrett used the 1946 publication "Naval Aviation Combat Statistics, WW2". It can be found online, and can be purchased on CD. He has also used my Victory Lists.

From 1981 to 1998 I published ten Victory Lists, covering all US air-to-air claims (dest/prob/dam) in the 20th Century, plus two RAF lists.
1: USMC; 2: USN; 3: USAAF/Pacific; 4: USAAF/AVG CBI; 5: USAAF ETO; 6: USAAF MTO; 7: RAF 400 Series Squadrons; 8: RAF 300 Series Squadrons; 9: US WW1; 10: US Post WW2. These are now all out of print, and frequently command stupid prices from Internet dealers. My intention is to update and bring them back into print, probably around the time the Mediterranean Air War series is wrapped. The two RAF volumes will not be reprinted, but I plan several volumes covering the RAF and associated air forces. And some other new volumes.

I also published in 1995 a book on the American aces, based on my Victory Lists.

I continue to gather information and research other aerial combat subjects of interest to me, which I hope to publish eventually.

Enjoy!

Frank.
