Country:  | I've gotta go with Billy Bishop, with 72 confirmed (yes, confirmed) kills. Why? Well because he was damn good, that's why.

It seems a few top aces didn't fair well in WW2 - Wolfram Von Ritchtofen died shortly after the war. Ernst Udet - well, he didn't do too good as well....

The first plane that he flew was an Albatros D.II and with that he recieved his first kill when he shot down the British ace Lanoe Hawker. The second plane that he flew was the Albatros D.III, next he flew the Albatros D.V. After that in 1917 he flew the Halberstadt D.II, and then the and by Sept 1917 he had switched the famose Fokker Dr.I triplane.
By the way do you know what his real name is anyhow?

| Charles Nungesser of France. Not so much for his 43 confirmed kills but for his audaciousness and insane agressiveness in the air.

Country: | Maybe we allies made Goring too silly. Twenty-two kills sounds pretty good.
