I have a confession to make.

I'm actually the world's oldest surviving WWI aviator and I'm really well-preserved! Even though I only recently celebrated my 108th birthday, I'm still sharp as a tack and agile as a cat!

I was born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1897 and flew for the Kaiser for a little over two years before defecting to France in late 1916...where I got to fly some of their planes for about a year or so. Then, having grown tired of the French cuisine, I defected to England on a midnight boat out of Dunkirk and enlisted in the RFC where I finished up the war.

I therefore have a WIDE RANGE of experience flying aircraft from BOTH SIDES OF THE TRENCHES!

ASK ME ANYTHING!
