Thanking calvinus for tips I put hands over Leader.EXL file.
I'll give a first glance to Aircorps Aces, looking for respective entry date and for more aces to be added.
I'll return modded Leader.EXL file to calvinus or anyone in charge when done.
I know at moment WWI may have other priorities.
On my own I never tried the game yet: I installed it only to get the Leader.EXL file.
I will not bother WW1 development team. I know they are very busy: just when possible let me know if will be possible in the past to include portraits of leaders; aces in particular!

I checked the list of airforces aces.
There are few names all available from
1914 to 1920.
No care for historical detail!
Notice, most of them entered service as pilots mid' war time and became aces even later. Others died in early war years.
This way WWI is historically as accurate as Warhammer series
What are the order?
Do I have to provide a realistic list as per pilot names and operative career period?
How to deal with sprite numbers?

I beg to disagree... most air aces are historical

Yes: names are historical, but not dates!
Most WWI aces were in service later mid' 1916.. others were already died at that time.
In your xls file all careers start at 1914 and end at 1920!
Check it please!

Yes, for Richthofen and Guynemer (at least), your remark is true...

It does not matter, this is a
game...

. The dates indicate the game's time frame, and aces can show up at anytime during this time frame...in any order... there was no 'gaming' reason to decide whether such ace would show up before such another one, just because it was so in History... in the boardgame, the ace counter was picked up randomly in a pool, and we did the 'same' here

Exact...and Immelman, without "H".
(Note that Richthofen is mispelled in the leader file).
