I would like to know about aces of the other powers.For example the Ottoman Empire,Bulgaria and Rumania. The site does an outstanding job on this already....only a few combatant nations are missing. Any help here? Thanks!

The only aces who had 5 or more victories under Ottoman markings were German. These would be Buddecke, Meinecke, and Croneiss. They flew Eindeckers and Halberstadts. There was a Russian ace who had a number of victories in Romania but I can't recall if it was with a Russian or Romanian unit. I think his last name is Gond. My personal approach is that if they flew under another nation's flag then they are that nation's aces and I would list these three under Turkey as aces as well as Germany. Just as the Flying Tigers in WWII could be listed under both China and the U.S. But, the forum specifically states "Aces by Nationality" so that eliminates any listing for Turkey.

One time a Turkish double seater crew was shooting down two enemy aircraft on one day (maybe in one single mission). Name of the one crew member was Orkhan Bey or similar.

Look at the older discussion threads (also in the archive) - you will find more info there about pilots of other nations.
