As the primary arena for aerial combat on the Western Front was over the German trenches and rear works, German aerial and ground observers could usually verify German victories in considerable detail. Aviation historians cited have further researched the war's victory claims, using archives from all sides. Confirmed victories in this list are numbered and listed chronologically. This list is complete for entries, though obviously not for all details. Abbreviations from sources utilized were expanded by editor creating this list.
