I thought this might be of interest to some of our newer pilots.

It is a shame that I could not get the website up for a longer period of time. Everyone has an opinion on who was the best. I think MVR was one of the best. Top 1 or 2%.

Thanks for that link, Rob.

I hope when Ares redoes the Albatros D.III that we get Jasta 18 Rudolf Berthold.

I also did not know that "The Blue Max" was named for Immelmann - should have been obvious ....

Noting how many of them got Deaded before the War ended, or spent inordinate amounts of time in hospitals....

Thank you for that link, Rob. There are a number of aircraft related lists on that website.

For anyone interested in a list of Aces by Country if you visit "The Aerodrome" Historical website they have a full list by name, by country etc etc.
Highly recommended for all Historical Info & some lively debate (especially about Billy Bishop

)

Rob.

Excellent find and nice summaries. I was particularly interested in Jacobs' interview (followed the link). Gives me ideas for a mission or two!

Thanks for that, Dave.
I have it bookmarked now.
I think I used it yesterday when I went down a rabbit hole to find the first names of all the pilots I have.
Still have 3 to go:

Americans Browning & Duke for the Bregeut, and Kibanov in the Nieuport 23.

I even found posts that Andrea left on a couple of sites looking for info on Kibanov back in 2005

as well as a few discussions on this site.
For Air Mechanic Second Class Frye (observer in the DH.4) I found an entry in the National Archives that I am going to accept that his name was John.
