Re: Pilot ID req'd
Found the answer on a game board. The pilot was Karl Menckhoff.
One of the oldest pilots in the German Air Service, Menckhoff was in his 30's when the war began. On 23 September 1917, he was shot down while trying to assist Werner Voss in his famous dogfight with 56 Squadron. He and Voss were both shot down by Arthur Rhys Davids. Five days later, Menckhoff was shot down again by 56 Squadron. Finally, on 25 July 1918, Menckhoff was shot down near Château Thierry by Lt. Walter Avery, an American with the 95th Aero Squadron. It was Avery's first air combat and Menckhoff was captured. In August 1919, he escaped from Camp Montoire, made his way to Switzerland and remained there until his death. http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/germany/menckhoff.php |
