hallo!! Please share with us your favorite aces from WW1 WWDEUCE
My favorite ace from WW1 is a tie between Oswald Boelcke
And georges guynemer
Oswald boelcke is one of my favorites because he was the man who taught Manfred Von Richtofen what he knew someone had to learn how to become an ace before all those ones everyone knows about and that was this man. Oswald boelcke was one of the first aces who would have become a top fighter pilot but was sadly killed when a fellow squadron member crashed into him mid-flight. He carved the way for people like Manfred, Werner Voss, and Ernst Udet to become top fighter pilots.
Georges Guynemer is one of my favorites because of his chilvilrous actions in the skies of WW1 sparing Ernst Udet when Udets guns jammed in a one on one dogfight. He was shot down above german skies and was given a Prussian Military burial in Germany.
My favorite WW2 fighter Pilot is
Franz Stigler
For his chilvilry when he escorted the Ye Olde Pub over the german lines so it would not be shot out of the sky!
He lived throughout the war and moved to Canada with his wife and eventually met the crew he had saved and became best friends with the pilot
