Question Question was edited from What was the name of the famous WW1 and to What was the name of the famous WW1 Aces and Answer There were many aces during WW1 from ALL the countries that participated. An ace was generally defined as a fighter pilot who had shot down 6 or more enemy aircraft. The highest scoring ace from Germany shot down 80 a/c.
The hightest from UK (a Canadian) shot down 73 France was 75 America was 26. There were also aces from Austria-Hungary Belgium Russia It would be difficult to list all of them or even the top 10 Why? They were famous because of several reasons.
These men were considered brave just to fly an airplane. The ones who could fly and survive a combat were considered as heroes. Also the countries sometimes used the exploits of these men to boost morale among the troops and also among the home front.
Germany printed post cards with photos of their ace pilots.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
