That's true.
Sorry for the typo.

I have also seen 23 WWI and 1 WWII. I believe there is also one unconfirmed from WWII. There was a number of French WWI pilots still in service back in 1940.

Good evening,

Haegelen has 22 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed in WW1 and 1 confirmed in WW2.

Can anybody tell me if his Sep/Oct 1918 kills were scored in a SPAD S.VII or a SPAD S.XIII ?

Cheers,

Michael

Hello James,

yes, Alfred Lindenber has the record for the longest period between the first and the last kill: 26 years (27 if gunner kills are counted). However, I don't know the dates for the first kills of Alfred Helm and Alfred Müller. Alfred Helm scored 3 in WW1 (?+?+1916) and 3 in WW2 (all 1942). Alfred Müller scored 3 in WW1 (?+1917+1917) and 3 in WW2 (all 1940).

Cheers,

Michael
