Hey, mates!

 

Let me introduce to you one of our WW1 heroes: capt. Georges Guynemer. He disappeared in action aged 22 the 11th September 1917. He scored 53 confirmed and 35 probable victories. Not the biggest ace of French Air Service (René FONCK was that guy), he became the most romantic hero of the war, archetype of the eternal knight, for the whole French people.

 

They said to the French pupils at school that he flew so high that day that he could not land on Earth any more.

Have a look on the Historical article posdtyed on the discussion forum:

That's all, folks !
