WW2 Royal Navy decimal score aces

[knusel]

...what was William Atkinson's official final tally ?

In "Hellcat Aces of World War 2" Barrett Tillman writes the Fleet Air Arm logged 455 aerial victories (3.33 by Atkinson). Is there an official list of these ?

It's an info from Chris Shores' Ace High, you'll find some details on these victories in the following pages: https://books.google.fr/books?id=66V2BQAAQBAJ&pg=PA83
There are supposedly 52 victories credited to FAA Hellcats.

...yes and 67 by Martlets/Wildcats, 52,5 by Corsairs, 112 by Fulmars.
I wonder if there is an official list of all 455 Fleet Air Arm kills.

Have a good Monday evening,
