For years, everywhere (including Canon/legends) it has been said that a total of 30 Rebel ships were deployed in the assault on the Death Star during the battle of Yavin. Most of the sources list the total number, type and squadron color of the ships, but mention a few names, as follows:
8 Y-Wings (Gold Squadron)
- Gold Leader - Jon "Dutch" Vander
- Gold Two - Dex Tiree
- Gold Three - Evaan Verlainer
- Gold Five - Davish Krail
12 X-wings (Red Squadron):
- Red Leader - Garves Dreis
- Red Two - Wedge Antilles
- Red Three - Biggs Darklighter
- Red Four - John D. Branon
- Red Five - Luke Skywalker
- Red Six - Jek Tono Porkins
- Red Ten - Theron Nett
- Red Twelve - Puck Naeco
10 X-wings (Green Squadron)
- ?????
Is there a credible or official source that list the name of the 30 Rebel pilots who fought for the Alliance at the Battle of Yavin?
