Guynemer is a favorite of mine. Unlike other pilots (not
to mention aces) he was shy, quiet little man who avoided
the press, didn't do the party circuit, and didn't brag about
his victories. The nation loved him. When he disappeared on
his last mission it was said that he "flew so high the angels
didn't let him come home again"......
