René Paul Fonck (27 March 1894 – 18 June 1953) was a French aviator who ended the First World War as the top Entente fighter ace and, when all succeeding aerial conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries are also considered, Fonck still holds the title of "all-time Allied Ace of Aces". He received confirmation for 75 victories (72 solo and three shared)[1] out of 142 claims.[2] Taking into account his probable claims, Fonck's final tally could conceivably be nearer 100 or above.[3] He was made an Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1918 and later a Commander of the Legion of Honor after the war, and raised again to the dignity of Grand Officer.

He was named commander of the 94th, the "Hat-in-the-Ring" Squadron, on September 24, 1918. The following day, Eddie shot down two more German airplanes, victories for which the U.S. government awarded him a belated Congressional Medal of Honor in 1930.

Manfred von Richthofen—better known as the “Red Baron”—was the top scoring flying ace of World War I, with 80 aerial victories between September 1916 and his death in April 1918. The reason they called manfred von the red baron because he was the deadliest ace around. And the reason why his plane was red is to help men recognize his plane.

Jean Chaput
Information from Wikipedia
Jean Chaput - Wikipedia
He served in the army infantry beginning in 1913. He transferred to aviation in 1914. He qualified as a pilot by February 1915, was assigned to Escadrille 28, and scored his first victory on 12 June 1915 while piloting a Caudron. He was awarded the Médaille militaire for this action. Three days later, he was wounded. On 10 July, he suffered the first of two serious wounds that would cause lengthy interruptions in his flying career. He did not return to duty until January 1916.
Interesting facts:
Chaput was awarded the Belgian Croix de guerre on 13 September 1917 and the British Military Cross on 17 April 1918. He also won multiple awards of his native France's Croix de Guerre.

"Sergent pilot of Escadrille C28. A pilot of extraordinary skill, courage, sang-froid, and devotion, Recently experienced, other than service in artillery reconnaissance, very efficient service in aerial pursuit. Never hesitated on several occasions, during the operations from 7 to 13 June 1915, to give pursuit to enemy planes better armed than himself. Returned on the 12th [June] with his plane riddled by machine gun bullets after having forced his adversary to land."

"Temporary Sous Lieutenant of Escadrille N57. Pilot of admirable audacity and sang-froid. He has had for more than a year daily, aerial combats during the course of which he downed four German planes. On 12 June 1915; 18 March, 30 April and 22 May 1916. Already cited four times in orders."

Lieutenant Jean Chaput was a French World War I flying ace credited with 16 aerial victories.

Jean Marc Chaput was born on 17 September 1893 in Paris.

He served in the army infantry beginning in 1913. He transferred to aviation in 1914. He qualified as a pilot by February 1915, was assigned to Escadrille 28, and scored his first victory on 12 June 1915 while piloting a Caudron. He was awarded the Médaille militaire for this action. Three days later, he was wounded. On 10 July, he suffered the first of two serious wounds that would cause lengthy interruptions in his flying career. He did not return to duty until January 1916. Having risen through the enlisted ranks to sergeant, he was now commissioned a lieutenant in March 1916. He scored twice more, on 18 March and 30 April; then he was transferred to a fighter squadron, Escadrille 57, in May 1916. Between 22 May and 23 July, he downed an observation balloon and four German airplanes. On 24 August, he was again severely wounded; this time, he would not return to duty until early 1917. He scored a double victory on 5 April, and one each in May and June 1917; the latter was shared with Joseph M. X. de Sévin. There was another lapse in his winning ways, until 23 March 1918, when he once again scored twice; one of his victims that day was Erich Thomas. In April, he succeeded to command of Escadrille 57, and scored his two final victories. He was killed in action on 6 May 1918 by Hermann Becker.

Interesting Facts:

In 1916, a group of American volunteers formed the Escadrille Américaine (shortly to be renamed N-124 Escadrille Lafayette) to aid France's war effort against the Germans. The squadron was renamed at the request of the American Secretary of War after heavy protest from Germany that an American squadron was a violation of the United States' neutrality. The squadron was largely made up of upper-class Americans with little flight experience. Lufbery, as an American citizen with aeronautics experience, was recruited and joined the unit on 24 May 1916 and was assigned a Nieuport fighter.

Factoids:
Raoul Lufbery was a world traveler who visited every continent on earth in just 33 years of life, an early aviation pioneer.

He also had two pet lions named Whiskey and Soda that served as squadron mascots and followed him around like puppy dogs.

He grew up working at some little chocolate factory, but when eating candy all day got  too boring this guy left home and went to travel the world getting fired from a series of weird random jobs.

Interesting Facts:

Luke Frank was one of the most highly skilled and aggressive pilots in World War one and Americas number one ace when he was shot down over France in September 1918.

He managed to shoot and kill seven Germans after being shot in the chest.

Luke and the three pilots accompanying him had been transferred from flying non combat missions in the rear to aerial combat duty at the front.

Factoids:

Luke's career as a combat pilot was short; he died just 17 days after his first kill.

In his time he shot down fifteen balloons and three airplanes.

In November of  1917 he completed his first solo flight in San Diego, graduated and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant some time after that.
