Another interesting German ace is Theo Osterkamp he shot down 32 aircraft while flying an Albatros in ww1 and an Me109 in WW2.
Good choice for #1, second one shows a home field advantage.

For me the "Red Baron" was the best ace in ww1, he is a natural born fighter plane pilot!

Before his record was updated by Erich Hartmann!

On the 14th, he shot down three planes in ten seconds; they almost fell on each other.

He took pride in using the least amount of ammunition necessary to bring down an enemy.
If he really was so accurate then he is among the best aces of WW1
