Good evening
I wish to locate a listing of all the pilots that made claims with US Navy fighter Squadron VF-2 knows as the Rippers from 1943 to 1944 and had a roster of 28 pilots that claimed more that 5 kills, but would like to know about the other pilots that claim four to one claims. thank you in advance.

They are all included in Frank Olynyk's victory list no 2 (USN in WW 2). Since it is a total of 262/41/2, it is far too much to write down. I don't think the publication is in print any more. I will happily scan the pages for you, but not without Frank's permission. Cheers Stig |

Stig,
Go ahead and scan for Santiago. When the work on the MAW series is done, getting my victory lists back in print, along with some new ones, will be a high priority. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Listing of claims by VF-2 The Rippers
Thank you guys
It hard to find Frank USN claim list and some are asking outrageous price for that volumen, one example for a not pristine copy was asking $400 USD (WHAT!!!!) Please Frank republish your listing they are needed. Also on another subject the NA in St Louis had the AAF Form 5 available. So they found some of the Mexican pilots before the lock down. Cheers Santiago |
