I'll look it up when I get home. @work now

"Under the Guns of the Red Baron" It analyzes ever kill of MvR in great detail.

Anyone ever read Rene Foncks autobiography of his wartime experiences? That was one of my favorite books growing up.

People say that Fonck was conceited and vain but he gave me a great understanding of WW1 air combat.

Air combat in WW1 was just as brutal as the land war.

Did they ever find Guynemer and Albert Ball's bodies?
