Well, actually...

On September 7 [1914], Russian Pyotr Nesterov was the first pilot to destroy an enemy airplane, but he did it by ramming his Morane into an Austrian Albatros. Both air crews died as a result.

So the first kill was a type of Kamikaze? Surprisingly unchivalrous for what I’ve read about early military aviation.
