The US didn't allow pilots to rack up scores as they became too valuable as instructors to new recruits. The biggest problem facing the Japs and Nazis was the loss of experienced pilots that could teach others how to fight. The Turkey Shoot was a clear example of the Japs not having anyone left who knew how to fly.
