It is still hard to say who was best. You will see Erich Hartmann as the top notch with 352 kills (in over 1400 missions without ever losing a wingman!). The scored 345 against eastern (mainly Russian) and 7 against western opponents - but contrary to some public opinion the Russian fighters were quite good when Hartmann scored his first kill (late in war) - so his achievement wasn't easy to get for sure.
On the other hand Hans-Joachim Marseille (17 kills on 1 day) was the best German pilot against western allies (158 kills... and apparently never shot down at all).
Emil Lang got 18 kills on 1 day, Erich Rudorffer got 13 kills in 17 minutes and the best Austrian pilot Walter Nowotny got 250 kills in less than 500 missions.
So, who was the top ace of all times? Well... me personally... I don't know.
