I deleted "(32 in WWI, 6 in WWII)" from Osterkamp; his WW2 score should be incl in a list of WW2 aces, since they didn't happen in WW1. Also, can somebody clarify the spellings of the Ger aces with the diresis? Trekphiler 03:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] German names

Should German pilots' names be written with their full titles?

i.e. Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen

Or should they remain as per Manfred von Richthofen? Both Manfred and Lother von Richthofen had the title Freiherr. The same applies for Ritter also. Manfred was also a Ritter.

Which is the best form?

[edit] UK Aces

Just a note that nearly all the names on the list for UK are Irish born, we need to add some english, scottish and welsh names ! MilborneOne 21:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
