The air forces of the different countries were very small so there were no real air battles. Instead one or two airplanes would encounter some enemy airplanes and they would exchange shots at each other.

Even in WW2, there were not many big air battles. There was the Battle of Britain and some battles between large Allied bomber formations and massive German fighter attack squadrons. There were large air battles among navy aircraft carriers.

Also the very first air-to-air combat in 1914 and early 1915 were single aircraft or two using a rifle and may a simple machine gun. Not all of these small combat encounters were recorded, even if an aircraft was shot down or a pilot killed.
