First off, Werner Voss and Ernst Udet wouldn't be in the same photo. Voss was killed in action (famously, in an epic battle) in September 1917, and Udet didn't join the Richthofen group until March 1918 according to his own account. Hermann Goering wasn't the top surviving ace: Udet was, with 62 credited victories. Several other aces made it to the end with higher tallies than Goering: Bruno Loerzer, the Ritter van Schleich, Theo Osterkamp, and maybe others. Come on. guys.LoFan Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670806965670035017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-23845491665485449882021-01-19T06:19:30.811-08:002021-01-19T06:19:30.811-08:00Seated man?

He ultimately assumed command of the Flying Circus and was the most successful German ace (22 victories) to actually survive the war.Survivormann99https://www.blogger.com/profile/07446145435315604776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-41099447647678387532021-01-18T11:35:03.482-08:002021-01-18T11:35:03.482-08:00I read in the book "Iron Men With Wooden Wing...I read in the book "Iron Men With Wooden Wings" by Lou Cameron that Voss was Jewish and ironically had the rune of Thor's hammer painted on his plane. the Nazi party would adopt that same rune as its symbol. <br />1chotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447809553993449672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-68726608007171380342021-01-18T09:57:02.882-08:002021-01-18T09:57:02.882-08:00 Captain Manfred von Richtofen (2 May 1892 – 21 Ap...
