World War I aviators who shot down two observation balloons[]

The following list is accumulative and incomplete because it is a work in progress. It is compiled as biographies of flying aces are written, and still lacks some balloon busters.

Please feel free to {{Expand list}} by adding to it. Citations are requested for all additions, preferably to texts in Reference section.
