The French "invented" air to air kills with the shoot down of a german on
the 8. october 1914
The french pilot was Sergant Frantz.


So... No it it would not be the first kill.... Second perhaps ? :-)

France pledges to shoot down private pilots in D-Day air space

I'll have to do some checking. Would this be the first time the French
have managed to shoot down any plane, anywhere? :-)
