New Book - Complete List of USAAF Victories during WWII

[Edward]

I wish that it could be possible to ask Frank Olynyk about this.

Army Air Force Victories
(Lulu.com 14 January 2024)
By Arthur Wyllie
533 pages - paperback
$53.95 US

"This book lists every pilot who was credited with an aerial victory in World War II while serving with the [U.S.] Army Air Force. A total of just over 7,300 pilots are listed. The Fighter groups are listed in numerical order and all pilots who achieved victories while serving with that group are listed. Because many pilots served with more than one group, all names are indexed in the back of the book.

This is the only reference book to list ALL of the pilots who achieved aerial victories, not just the ones who achieved Ace status."

I just wonder if in this book the author(s) will dig further, checking the probable victims on the Axis side...or if it will be just a copy of the Air Force Bulletins and PDF list of victories claimed by the US Army Air Corps in WW2, that most of us can find easily via US Air Force Historical Branch...(https://www.dafhistory.af.mil/Portal...90601-121.pdf/)

And strangely enough...there is no photograph or sample to check it out....

If it have aircraft type claimed, place and time of claim like Olynyk booklets that would be interesting but no, you can check the samples on Amazon, it's the same as the pdfs.
