Edit: From what I know, isn't an ace someone with over five confirmed kills? From what I read, really..

Country: | Actually it was probably easy if luck was with you through your first 20 combat missions or so.... Many Americans did not make Ace status because their time in combat was very limited, and targets were rare....
Nowadays, its almost impossible to make ace...
