Günther Schack (12 November 1917 – 14 June 2003) was a German World War II fighter ace who served in the Luftwaffe from 1939 until the end of World War II in 1945.
 A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat.
Edward Vernon Rickenbacker (October 8, 1890 – July 23, 1973) was an American fighter ace in World War I and Medal of Honor recipient.
 With 26 aerial victories, he was America's most successful fighter ace in the war.
 He was also considered to have won the most awards for valor by an American during the war according to the April 2017 VFW magazine in their special World War I edition.
Ace Drummond was an aviation comic strip scripted by Eddie Rickenbacker, the celebrated World War I aviator, and illustrated by Clayton Knight (1891–1969), well-known aviation author and artist, who was the father of illustrator Hilary Knight.
 In its several-year run, it followed aviator Ace Drummond on his adventures around the world.
This is a list of fighter aces in World War II from Germany.
 A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat.
 German day and night fighter pilots claimed roughly 70,000 aerial victories during World War II, 25,000 over British or American and 45,000 over Russian flown aircraft.
 103 German fighter pilots shot down more than 100 enemy aircraft for a total of roughly 15,400 aerial victories.
 Roughly a further 360 pilots claimed between 40 and 100 aerial victories for round about 21,000 victories.
 Another 500 fighter pilots claimed between 20 and 40 victories for a total of 15,000 victories.
 It is relatively certain that 2,500 German fighter pilots attained ace status, having achieved at least 5 aerial victories.
 These achievements were honored with 453 German day and "Zerstörer" (destroyer) pilots having received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
 85 night fighter pilots, including 14 crew members, were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
Stanisław Skalski {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (27 November 1915 – 12 November 2004) was a Polish fighter ace of the Polish Air Force in World War II, later rising to the rank of Brigadier General.
 Skalski was the top Polish fighter ace of the war and the first Allied fighter ace of the war, credited, according to official lists, with 18 victories and two probable.
 Some sources, including Skalski himself, give a number of 22 victories.
Frank Luke Jr. (May 19, 1897 – September 29, 1918) was an American fighter ace, ranking second among U.S. Army Air Service pilots after Captain Eddie Rickenbacker in number of aerial victories during World War I (Rickenbacker was credited with 26 victories, while Luke's official score was 18).
 Frank Luke was the first airman to receive the Medal of Honor.
 Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, a U.S. Air Force pilot training installation since World War II, is named in his honor.
Werner Schröer (12 February 1918 – 10 February 1985) was a German World War II fighter ace who served in the "Luftwaffe" from 1937, initially as a member of the ground staff, until the end of World War II in Europe on 8 May 1945, by which time he had reached the highest ranks of combat leadership.
 A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat.
 Schröer was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.
 The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves and Swords was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
 For the fighter pilots, the grades of the Knight's Cross were also a quantifiable measure of their success and skill.
 Werner Schröer was the second most successful claimant of air victories after Hans-Joachim Marseille in the Mediterranean.
Kurt Welter (25 February 1916 – 7 March 1949) was a German "Luftwaffe" fighter ace and the most successful "Jet Expert" of World War II.
 A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat.
 He claimed a total of 63 aerial victories—that is, 63 aerial combat encounters resulting in the destruction of the enemy aircraft—achieved in 93 combat missions.
 He recorded 56 victories at night, including 33 Mosquitos, and scored more aerial victories from a jet fighter aircraft than anyone else in World War II and possibly in aviation history.
 However this score is a matter of controversy; research of Royal Air Force losses suggests Welter overclaimed Mosquito victories considerably.
Colonel Charles Henry "Mac" MacDonald, USAF, (November 23, 1914 – March 3, 2002) was an American fighter ace.
 MacDonald commanded the 475th Fighter Group for 20 months in his P-38 Lightning, ""Putt Putt Maru"" with the unit number ""100"" and becoming the third ranking fighter ace in the Pacific during World War II.
Hans Beißwenger (8 November 1916 – 6 March 1943) was a German Luftwaffe fighter ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves during World War II.
 A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat.
 In 500 combat missions, Beißwenger was credited with 152 victories, making him the 34th highest-scoring Luftwaffe fighter pilot of World War II.
 He was "ace-in-a-day" twice, shooting down five aircraft on a single day.
 He claimed all but one of his victories over the Eastern Front.
 He was reported missing in action in March 1943.
