Below the top 30 fighter aces of WWII, so you get an idea of the German scores. So the top 230 fighter pilot aces are ALL axis power pilots. So the list with top kills is actually extremely dominated by Nazi German fighter aces, with the top Allied pilot being Lev Shestakov with 66 kills ranks as 231. One of the main differences in aerial battle score is that German pilots (as well as Japanese) kept flying and gaining experience until they were killed themselves, while successful Allied pilots where “rewarded” by sending them home where they took over the training of young pilots and passing their skills and experience over to them. This list is more entertainment than science, so take it with a pinch of salt. We do compare apple and oranges here, and we know it. We know this is a hard question and easy to criticise – as they flew at different times, had different material etc.
