Exactly. Air combat is combat which takes place in the air, shooting down a
V-1 is obviously air combat.

What about shooting down the Piper Cub? I suppose there were a couple
of Blond Knights of Chermany who made ace on the L-4.

And what about the airman with a PPL at the console controlling the
Predator drone? He must be engaged in air combat too. (There was at
least one such incident, although the drone lost.)

Let me guess: you guys are flight simmers, right?
