Was Fw. Werner Stapel JG52 an ace?

That's a bingo. I apologize to Rob for that. I forgot that my update and addenda to Tony Woods files has not been updated for so long - can't seem to get a response from the guy who's hosting Tony's stuff. Unfortunately Tony's list is far from complete, not due to any fault of on his part, but from the limitations of the docs he was working with. As Tom says, the missing info comes from the Prien team's published data in the Jagdfliegerverbaende series. Believe me I know its hurts from a financial standpoint, especially given that the dollar is in toilet primarily thanks to our current do nothing administration that benefits anyone economically but their big money buddies, but for claims, losses and photos, this series is essential for anyone with a claimed serious interest in LW fighters.
