Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The mystique of the Ace Pilot has been around as long as there have been airplanes used for combat. Aces likely got their start in the popular imagination through a combination of newspapers and the fact that they were few and easily recognisable. According to The Other Wiki, the majority of victories in aerial combat during World War I were won by about 5% of all pilots and these pilots were honoured highly, receiving major publicity to boost morale at home. The Germans in particular had a very exacting standard for confirming kills and the requirements to earn their highest award for gallantry actually went up as the war went on. Only in France and the US were they really called aces; the British actually used the term "star turn" to describe them, a showbiz term for the featured show or performer in a theatre. |
