USN Credits for the Destruction of Enemy Aircraft in Air-to-Air Combat World War 2, Victory List No 2 by Frank J. Olynyk. Paperback. Frank J. Olynyk, a noted aviation historian who spent years meticulously combing through administrative records and combat reports in U.S. archives. Covers official and credited aerial victories (destruction in air-to-air combat), probables, and damaged enemy aircraft credited specifically to U.S. Navy (USN) personnel during World War II. Provides an itemized breakdown detailing individual pilot names, dates, and locations for aerial victories, serving as one of the most comprehensive independent compilations since the U.S. Navy did not maintain a centralized official list of individual ”aces” or scores during the war. Copies can occasionally be found in military history archives, research libraries, and reference collections. Scarce.
