WWI quiz for today.
« on: February 22, 2010, 05:10:37 PM »
No prize except for bragging rights, but here goes-

What pilot is generally credited with being the first one labeled by the press as an 'ace'?

Here's a hint (might actually make it too easy)- he was also the first man to successfully perform a loop and was (supposedly) the first man in Europe to descend safely to earth in a parachute.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

You got it, Adolphe Celestin Pègoud.



He was, incidentally, shot down and killed by a man he had taught to fly, Unteroffizier Kandulski of the German IAS.

Al Gore invented the internet and the wright brothers googled how to build a plane, therefore Al Gore invented the airplane.
