Come to think of it the Greastest Fighter Pilot of WW1 wasn't Richtoffen..but the Frenchy Rene Fonck...why he downed 75 Germans officially which was right behin von richtoffen at 80, but that alone didn't make him the greatest...what made him the best was the fact that he started flying in 1914 and survived the war when the average life expectancy for a new pilot on the Western Front was 2 weeks..couple that with the fact that he rarily came back with a bullet hole in his plane. Truly amazing..
