I would like to know where I can get a comprehensive list of all the US WWII Fighter Aces. Likewise, is there a similar list available for tank commanders?

That lists people who were not 5 or more kills, etc. Good start though, thanks!. Any other comprehensive lists?

Bot,

If you can find a book called "Victory Roll," it lists every fighter ace from the US in each plane and each service.  I highly recommend it.

This is kind of interesting:

Webb Willard Jerome USAAF 5 80FG, 459FS; (KIA Jun/1957, Korean War)


Note the year KIA. Yet we are told the Korean war ended in 1953?

Is Korea still considered a war zone today?

i believe the  r.o.k. was considered a combat zone until 1979. last i heard it was still just a ceasefire since 1953
