This is a complete list of World War I flying aces from the German Empire.
Aces were listed after verifying the date and location of combat, and the foe vanquished, for every victory accredited by an aviator's home air service. Aces awarded honors and thus shown to be notable are linked to their biographies.
Note: When more than one ace has the same number of kills, all their names are shown against the specified numbers. Hence if you find a number of aces against a number it means each of those aces has scored that number of victories
E.g.: Werner Voss and Josef Jacobs (both 48 kills)
