List of aces (Air, sub, tank etc.)

[MarineUS]

Someone posted this on another forum and I find it pretty neat. It's got (me thinks) every ace since the beginning of aerial warfare. Read a lot of great stories.

You can see tank aces, sub aces and more! Pretty cool!

As I said, "(me thinks)"

Either way it led to some great reading. Not to mention it's Wikipedia, so you can edit it.

It's a list of "aces of aces"

[LCADolby]

It's a list of "aces of aces"

That would mean 1 pilot per country per war. 

[GScholz]

No, that would mean every man who at some point was considered the top scoring ace of a war. You'll notice that it says Immelman and Boelcke swapped the title several times before Immelmann got killed.

[LCADolby]

Oh my I didn't realise it was a pass the baton type of title, I stand corrected.

[MarineUS]

See, learning can occur!

I didn't understand it 100% either though, so don't feel bad.
