WW I Dogfight Artifact returned to German pilot's family after 89 years.
WW I Dogfight Artifact returned to German pilot's family after 89 years.
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
