Additional info desired

Four of the aces listed were just discovered while researching this list. Their victory totals have not been verified in a victory-by-victory listing, and so are not yet listed in List of World War I aces credited with 5 victories. It is unknown what honors and awards they received that might make them notable. Further information on these aces would be most useful.

Those four aces are Tadeusz Grochowalski, Viktor Komorovski, Antoni E. Mroszkowski, and Stefan Peter. Please list any relevant sources here. Thanks.

Germans

Why listing several Germans here, specially Manfred von Richthofen? He was not of Polish Ethnicity nor his native language was Polish. The only thing Polish about von Ricthofen is that the place in which he was born was once a Polish land and became Polish again later. Even though, that place was German for centuries before he was born and didn't turned Polish again until decades after his death. During his lifetime, he would never be called Polish.189.61.148.51 (talk) 04:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, you are correct. However, this list is not one of Polish aces, but of aces born in the present day Poland, regardless of ethnicity.Georgejdorner (talk) 20:55, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
