Lists Of World War I Flying Aces
The following are lists of World War I flying aces. Historically, a flying ace was defined as a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The term was first used by French newspapers, describing Adolphe Pégoud as ''l'as'' (the ace), after he downed seven German aircraft. Victory standards used in World War I The notion of an aerial "victory" arose from the first aerial combats, which occurred during the early days of World War I. Unsurprisingly, different air services developed their own definitions of exactly what an aerial victory might be, as well as different methods of assessing and assigning credit for aerial victories. Conditions affecting accuracy of scores Ownership of the terrain below had its effect on verifying victory.

List Of World War I Flying Aces From Austria-Hungary
This list of World War I flying aces from Austria-Hungary contains the names of aviators from the countries ruled by the Habsburg dynasty. Austria-Hungary was a constitutional union of the Austrian Empire (''Cisleithania'') and the Kingdom of Hungary (''Transleithania'') which existed from 1867 to 1918, when it collapsed as a result of defeat in World War I. Its territory contained a melange of nationalities. Although the aces of the ''K.u.k. Luftfahrtruppen'' owed their military allegiance to the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a whole, they came from various ethnic groups. Despite the Hungarian government's policy of Magyarization, many inhabitants of that kingdom clung to their ethnic identities. The breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire post World War I saw the formation of independent nations from some of these ethnic groups. Flying aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Major background information for this list comes from O'Connor, pp. 272–332. As O'Connor also states on pa ...
