Balloon busters were military pilots known for destroying enemy observation balloons. These pilots were noted for their fearlessness, as balloons were stationary targets able to receive heavy defenses, from the ground and the air. Seventy-seven flying aces in World War I were each credited with destroying five or more balloons, and thus were balloon aces.

  • Caça balões ("balloon buster" em inglês), é um termo utilizado para se referir aos pilotos militares conhecidos por destruir balões de observação inimigos. Esses pilotos eram conhecidos por sua coragem, já que os balões eram alvos fixos capazes de receber defesas pesadas, tanto no solo quanto no ar. Setenta e sete ases voadores na Primeira Guerra Mundial foram creditados cada um com a destruição de cinco ou mais balões e, portanto, eram ases de balão. (pt)
