* Air against air would put the Battle of Britain at number one. * Air against ports, harbors and ground targets would put the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. * Air against ships at sea would put the Kamikaze attacks against the Okinawa Invasion Fleet on the list. * Air against ground targets would be the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. * Air against troops in the field would be any number of Soviet attacks on the Eastern Front. * Also consider the Battle of Midway, the Marianas Turkey shoot and the Flying Tigers efforts. * Best air to air strategic attack killed Admiral Yamamoto. * Best air to ground support goes to the Marine Corsair Pilots. * Best air protection was provided by the Tuskegee Airmen. * Best air to air combat by the US was performed by names like Gabreski, Boyington, Johnson, MacDonald and Foss. * Aces galore appeared. No, multiple aces appears on both sides of the conflict. Pilots with over 25 kills came from the US. UK, USSR, Italy, Hungary, Czechoslvakia, Finland., Japan, Australia. New Zealand, France, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Romania and Germany. Jets were used for the first time to create aerial aces. The top ten German aces of WWII had over 2500 kills between them. Some say that the second World War was a target rich environment. It was.

Most of the air campaigns fought in that region were against shipping in the Med, which supported the ground operations in that area.
