One of the first is Oswald Boelke. He flew the Fokker Eindekker, a German Monoplane. The greatest was Mannfred von Richtofen, he flew a blood red Fokker triplane. Mannock, McCudden & Ball are all great British aces. Fonk & Guynemer are French aces. Eddie Rickenbacker is a US famous name.

Yes, there were. A few were in WW1, but a lot of Russian women were pilots in world war two.
WWI's most famous fighter pilot has to be: Baron Von Richthofen, a German ace also known as the "Red Baron". To the best of my knowledge, was credited with over 80 kills. Didn't survive the war, KIA.
The US built no planes in World War 1. American pilots flew French planes; Nieuports and Spads.
Im not sure an exact number, but definently more then the Tuskegee Airmen...also world war 2 was a similar scenario of world war 1 , except world war 1 was near the great depression so supplies were low. world war 2 had more resources and more people were healthy enough and able to enter in the armed forces, so there were probably more pilots than in world war 1?
