The TRUE Ace of Aces of The Great War. Any student of WWI knows that in order for a kill to be counted, it had to be verified, quite often by ground troops. The swashbuckling Canadian seldom stayed on the Allied side of no man's land in order to hunt down his prey, consequently, not all his "kills" were awarded to him. Conversely, Von Richtofen did indeed spend most of his time either over no man's land where friendly troops were able to witness his kills or over land held by the Central Powers. By the end of the war, Von Richtofen had the greatest number of "confirmed" kills and so has been considered the greatest Ace of the war, but we C
