ww1 ace

The question was "who was the first pilot to claim a victory in a single-seater v single-seater combat?"

His first single-seat victim that I can positively identify was Wilson's DH2 on 2 September 1916. Boelcke may well have been the first ace, but it don't mean he was the first to shoot down a single-seater.
