Well while we can't be a 100% percent sure that Phoenix=Scarface One, though there are quite a few things supporting this. First off Scarface Squadron is a mercenary squadron and Phoenix is a new member of this squadron created to fight the URF. In part of the game Olsen talks about how "the rumors about you are true." (or something like that.) We can assume that Allied Command wouldn't just trust anyone with taking on operation: Fighter's Honor. They would need someone that was good. Phoenix, assuming that he is Phoenix One from Air Combat, would be a good choice for this mission, as he already has the experience. Also, being a mercenary, Phoenix would find jobs around the world, so the fact that Air Combat took place in one area (Verusa? I'm not quite sure as well.) and Ace Combat 2/Assault Horizon Legacy took place in Usea wouldn't be a reason to disprove this theory. Second, the Phoenix emblem. Now I can't be 100% sure (I don't have my 3DS on me at the moment) but Phoenix has his signature emblem on his plane, while Slash and Edge, the members of Scarface Squadron who (I think this is correct...) were not mercenaries, had the Scarface emblem on their planes. As I'm sure you already know, Phoenix and Scarface One have very similar emblems (Not exactly the same but close enough.)

Not trying to say you're wrong, as until PA decides to create a Air Combat remake or give some info we can't be sure, there is info supporting this theory. I honestly think that this is the only Ace=Ace theory that is, while most likely never be comfirmed, to be true.

And one more thing. On Ace Combat Zero I think I found a easter egg. On mission 13 when you get to the base where the XB-0 hanger is there's a C-17A. If you look closely at the tail of the C-17A you can see (Though for me I can't be sure...) instead of the Belkan flag, Germany's flag, at least that what I think I saw. Would you be willing to check this out, because sometimes I think it's Germany's flag and other time I think it changes on me, or that i'm just seeing the colors wrong on the C-17A. If you do try to check this out be careful or you'll end up crashing right into it.

Phew, that was a lot to type...
