Default On this day in history

I thought I would post what I hope people here find interesting a little fact about July 1st.
Today is anniversary of what all of us who frequent here, albeit virtually, essentially enjoy.
In 1915 Leutnant Kurt Wintgens scored the first ariel kill using a synchronised gun equiped aircraft- the Fokker Eindecker. This is therefore essentially the 'genesis' moment for what has since followed in the skies of our many nations.

I thought this could become a thread for people to post interesting historical info relating to specific moments in ariel combat since this day in 1915
