flying / fighter ace Explanation: pytanie już zamknięte (dlaczego???) tutaj definicja: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_ace A flying ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft. (The more correct term is "fighter ace," since "flying ace" can refer to any adept pilot.) The aviation term ace originated in World War I when French newspapers described Adolphe Pegoud, nicknamed "The Foolhardy One", as l'ace after he became the first pilot to down five German aircraft. Reportedly the term had been popularized in prewar French newspapers when referring to sports stars such as soccer players and bicyclists. wraz z listami asów przestworzy takimi jak słynny Czerwony Baron Manfred von Richthofen a nawet nasz Stanisław Skalski |
