CATFISH:The whole thread is very interesting, but i think a lot of the incidents are described a bit one-sided. Especially regarding U-boats and e.g. the Falaba incident on march 28th i have a slightly different view of things :hmm2:
I just hate to let this stand as it is, but i plain do not have enough time :shifty:

You're not wrong Markus but there are now three posts which are arguably off topic and certainly not appertaining to what happened 100 years ago today.

The reason to why I made this thread isn't new, have had it on my mind for weeks.

The thread 100 years ago..is like watching Das Boot at cinema or on DVD and then suddenly a commercial break occur now and then..

Friends try to stay on topic

WWI is historical new to me, my knowledge about this war isn't the best, that's why I love that thread and I want to read discussion about the war here in this thread.

Thanks

Markus

Have been listening to A WWI podcast and in that podcast, there were several episode about Churchill life and his engagement in WWI and I have read your posting in 100 years ago..

I get the feeling that there were more fighting in almost every were in Africa in WWI than in WWII.

Also that Turkey was more involved than in WWII.

After this double victory French newspapers begin calling Pègoud "L'As" ("The Ace"). The term will later be applied to any pilot scoring five victories or more, a practice still in use today.
Pégoud also was the first pilot to make a parachute jump from an airplane. He also became a popular instructor of French and other European fledgling pilots.:timeout: On 31 August 1915, Pégoud was shot down by one of his prewar German students, Unteroffizier Walter Kandulski, while intercepting a German reconnaissance aircraft. He was 26 years old. The same German crew later dropped a funeral wreath above the French lines. That's why we call 'em the Knights of the Air-they kept it civil ...at times...:hmmm:

Indeed! we didn't necessarily miss we're just reemphasizing:D After all 'no sane man leaves a perfectly good aircraft without great cause'; much less just going experimenting first, unlike Ernst Udet or my daddy- three times from trainers and combat-fatigued ferry-command relics in Texas, as in seriously 'put to it'. I owe the man!:salute:
