Oswald Boelcke
Source: "Oswald Boelcke did not invent air-to-air tactics, the squadron organizational system, or the German Air Force. Still, his contributions to air warfare are so profound, he is considered the father of all three." The title of the major source for this article is "Oswald Boelcke: Germany's First Fighter Ace and Father of Air Combat", and the entirety of the book is devoted toward proving this point.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (as recent GA), long enough, no detected copyvio, images licensed. The hook looks fine to me but there are plenty of other facts to choose from if someone wants to suggest an alt.  Good to go "as is" as far as I'm concerned.
