This article lists the Flying Aces of the Zemplen War. Aerial warfare was a frequent occurrence during the Zemplen War, resulting in the destruction of nearly 1,000 aircraft between Ruvelka and Syara. The Imperial Ruvelkan Air Force entered the conflict with a distinct numerical advantage in fighter aircraft over the Commonality Air Force. To combat this, Syara often retained it's experienced pilots on the frontlines longer than their Ruvlkan counterparts.
The term "ace" applies only to pilots who have recorded five or more confirmed kills; only twelve pilots during the Zemplen War attained this. This article deals only with confirmed kills, and does not count possible or probable kills.
