List of World War I flying aces from France
This is a complete list of French flying aces of World War I.
It may be of interest to note, that Roland Garros is often called the first French Ace, but in fact he has only 4 confirmed victories. The distinction of being the first French Ace goes to Adolphe Pégoud.
Aces are listed after verifying the date and location of combat, and the foe vanquished, for every victory accredited by the Aéronautique Militaire using their own aerial victory standards. Those victories for which the evidence is unavailable or fragmentary have been excluded from the victory count.[1]

Notes
- Held dual Franco-American citizenship.
gollark: To write in. The performance is quite bad.
gollark: I don't really like python for such things, and it was much quicker than rust.
gollark: osmarks.net uses accursed amounts of node.js on the backend.
gollark: Well, it can be an issue in node and if you do some things with libraries.
gollark: Technically, you can make your code do `while (!someDoneFlagSetAfterExecutionOfTheAsyncThing)`.
