Just got the HWK and working on various builds. What happens with the elite talent of Wingman?
Can another ship, with Wingman, remove the stress from Jan Ors (pilot) thus allowing her to get another stress and allow another ship roll extra dice?

It's not quite so flexible as that. Jan Ors can't help two ships add extra dice. But with Wingman, Jan could perform a red maneuver or receive a stress sometime in the activation phase. Once the combat phase starts, Wingman strips the stress, and Jan is capable of using her ability as well.
wingman activates at the beginning of the combat phase so removes stress from the movement/action phase. Jan ors ability only works when someone is attacking, because of the timing of these you can't use both do allow her to attack.
an example of a ship that could do it (if it was rebels) is yorr the lamnda shuttle pilot. he takes stress when they get it. so if there was such a thing as a build with jan ors and Yorr, you could use jan ors ability more than once.

For the sake of accuracy, you couldn't, actually. Because Jan's ability is phrased 'gain a stress to allow someone to roll an extra die', it only works if the stress actually arrives on Jan's ship. If something (like Yorr) intercepts it before it arrives, you can't use the ability. See the FAQ for Yorr and his interaction with Opportunist, which is phrased the same.
If it was phrased like PTL (Do a thing. Then gain a stress) it would work as you suggest because the doing of the thing is not dependent on the stress arriving, which happens afterwards, independently.
If something clears it afterwards between her allies' shots, she could use her ability again, but there's nothing (currently) which can do that.
Edited by thespaceinvaderAhh thank I didn't realise that interaction
AHH!!! That makes sense:
Jan Ors:
"When another friendly ship at Range 1-3 is attacking, if you have no stress tokens, you may receive 1 stress token to allow that ship to roll 1 additional attack die."
WingMan:
"At the start of the Combat phase, remove 1 stress token from another friendly ship at Range 1."
It is a timing issue. Thank you all!
