These guys were all notable but I'd say you have to go back to the beginning and see what the WW1 guys accomplished with primitive equipment.
I'd suggest Billy Bishop as one of the top air warriors of all time.

Air Marshal William Avery "Billy" Bishop VC, CB, DSO & Bar, MC, DFC, ED (8 February 1894 – 11 September 1956) was a Canadian First World War flying ace, officially credited with 72 victories, making him the top Canadian ace, and according to some sources, the top ace of the British Empire.
