U.S.A.A.F/R.A.F. Enemy A/C Damage Claims

[Stormfighter]

Those privy to the German point system for claiming air victories know that Luftwaffe pilots could receive credit for Herausschuesse, that is, shooting enemy a/c out of formation, or an endgueltige Vernichtung, that is, the final destruction of an enemy a/c that had already been shot out of formation or was returning to base due to mechanical failure or some other issue. My question is, did American or British receive points or credit for shooting German a/c out of formation? I don't think they did, but want to here what others have to say.
