The best treatment of this subject is Norman Franks'
Who Downed the Aces of WW I?
from Grub Street in the UK. Of necessity, it involves several ace-v-ace combats, though only those fought to a decision. (For instance, the tale of Guynemer letting Udet off the hook owing to jammed guns doesn't apply.) Far as I know, the book's available from Paul Gaudette in Tucson, Arizona.
