American, Walter Avery battled his opponent, Karl Menckhoff in one of the last dogfights of the first world war. After shooting the German down, he landed and cut a piece of the aircraft's cloth insignia from the side. It sat in a trunk for nearly 9 decades before it was discovered and returned to the German pilot's family. picked by BrownTrout 1 year ago tags dogfight airplanes World War I German American |
