List of World War I Slovak flying aces

Many men among the aviators of the Austro-Hungarian Luftfahrtruppen were of the Slovak ethnic minority, living in what was then part of the Kingdom of Hungary. Austria-Hungary was a constitutional union of the Austrian Empire (Cisleithania) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania) which existed from 1867 to 1918, when it collapsed as a result of defeat in World War I. The aces listed below either were born in present-day Slovak Republic, were of Slovak ethnic identity, or both.
