Curtiss P-40 top ten ace list

[knusel]

Good morning Gentlemen,

I'm trying to find out the definite total score of the AVG "Flying Tigers".
The totals given in different sources differ slightly:

• 231 according to cieldegloire (with two kills listed after the disbandmente date of 4Jul). The kill list on this website shows only 224 kills. Thus, I dismiss this figure.

• 230 according to warbirdforum. But when I count the individual pilot's scores up, there are only 229 listed.
  https://www.warbirdforum.com/vics.htm
• 229 according to wikipedia.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers

I would accept 229 kills as definite but the warbirdforum list includes a David Hill kill on 6Jul (after the AVG disbandment date) whereas it doesn't include a John Petach kill on the same day.

Therefore, should I pin down the AVG total as 228 ?

Cheers,

Michael
