Terry Posted 22 May , 2004 Share Posted 22 May , 2004 The best source of information on the internet has to be www.theaerodrome.com, which has comprehensive listings of all the aces. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biplane pilot Posted 28 May , 2004 Share Posted 28 May , 2004 For more detail than is available on-line, consult the excellent series of WW I books from Grub Street. Every pilot and observer/gunner who could remotely be considered an ace is included in the various volumes, by nationality. Above the Trenches, Over the Lines, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
