*marcel albert has been placed as the top french scorer as i recently had an argument with erich over pierre clostermanns claims.

pilots level on the number of kills have been placed in alphabetical order.
 
Some sources list Beurling with 32. I've even seen some say 29, but 31/32 seems to be the consencus. Those that say 29 I think are only counting the planes he downed while in RAF service. He also flew with the RCAF for a bit after that, where he apparently downed one or two more.

i know our first ace shot down 5 japanese planes.... WITH A PEASHOOTER (p-26)
 
Also there are some sources that list Franco Lucchini as the top scoring Italian ace.

Then feel free to add the info to this thread. Considering what they had to work with, the Filipinos did an amazing job. Takes some real courage to face down a modern Japanese plane in a P-26!
 
Hell yea! Cojones de Hacero! O yea considering that in '41-2 the Peasooter was just that.

Check this list I have found. I don't know if there are any mistakes though

ok, Jesus Villamor, the first filipino ace, 5 planes shot down with a P-26.
he hot down Zeroes and Bettys, thats what it said in an article, they named the main Philippine Airforce Base after him.
 
Why is Marmaduke "Pat" Pattle's score always obscured?!? If he did have 50 kills at the time of his death, this shows that allied fighter pilots were definitely "on par" numbers-wise with the best of the Luftwaffe!!!
