A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down several enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The actual number of aerial victories required to officially qualify as an "ace" has varied, but is usually considered to be five or more. The few aces among combat aviators have historically accounted for the majority of air-to-air victories in military history.Erich Hartmann is the ace of aces, the highest scoring ace of all time with a total of 352 confirmed victories.
History
World War I
World War I introduced the systematic use of true single-seat fighter aircraft, with enough speed and agility to catch and maintain contact with targets in the air, coupled with armament sufficiently powerful to destroy the targets. Aerial combat became a prominent feature with the Fokker Scourge, in the last half of 1915. This was also the beginning of a long-standing trend in warfare, showing statistically that approximately five percent of combat pilots account for the majority of air-to-air victories.
Flying Aces was a monthly American periodical of short stories about aviation, one of a number of so-called "flying pulp" magazines popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Like other pulp magazines, it was a collection of adventure stories, originally printed on coarse, pulpy paper but later moved to a slick format. The magazine was launched in October 1928 by Periodical House, Inc. It featured stories written and illustrated by known authors of the day, often set against the background of World War I. Later issues added non-fiction aviation articles, as well as articles and plans for model airplanes. The latter became more prominent, and eventually the magazine was renamed Flying Models, and catered exclusively to model airplane hobbyists.
Historical context
The period from the late 1920s through the 1930s is considered the heyday of pulp fiction, and pulps were at the peak of their popularity. Over 200 magazines were published monthly, reaching an audience of 10 million readers, with the most successful titles selling up to a million copies per issue. Pulp fiction publishers employed unprecedented levels of market segmentation for their titles, exploring every popular category, including love stories, western stories, detective stories, and mystery stories. Publications were highly specialized, with each category having its own set of magazines, readers, and reader expectations.

Build and Fly a Model From 1937. The Flying Aces Moth.
Here's the Flying Aces Moth from 1937. It's a great flyer! While the design is 86 years old, it makes for a fairly simple project if you've built a few balsa models. You can find the plans here for free: https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=8529
You can get a kit for the model at either of these sites:

1935 Flying Aces Sportster - Test Flight
Testing the Flying Aces Sportster, from the March 1935 issue of the Flying Aces Magazine. Flying on a loop of 1/8" rubber.

Flying Aces Triflyer - indoor test flight
A quick test of our new kit - the Triflyer. The Triflyer is a design from the November 1943 Flying Aces Magazine. This test is with one loop of 3/32" rubber and about 700 turns. Proper trimming with rubber and prop could get this to fly much longer indoors. I expect some great climb-outs outdoors. More at http://www.volareproducts.com/
