You may want to educate yourself with the following two pages:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AirstrikeImpossible

Especially take note of Airstrike Impossible making mention of the following: "Since The Dam Busters, or rather, A New Hope's homage to The Dam Busters for the fight against the Death Star"

The Dam Busters is from 1955, and some of those examples date back even further. If Ace Combat is ripping off of Star Wars, then Star Wars ripped off of The Dam Busters, which itself ripped off from whatever came before... you're going to go on an endless loop with this.
