American Fighter Aces Association

The American Fighter Aces Association (AFAA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and preserving the legacy of fighter pilots who have achieved "ace" status, meaning they have shot down five or more enemy aircraft in aerial combat. Founded in 1960, the AFAA provides a platform for these veterans to share their stories, promote aviation history, and support educational programs. The organization also hosts events and gatherings, fostering camaraderie among members while also raising public awareness about the experiences and contributions of America’s fighter aces throughout military history.
