I am going to do my best to find you just such a video and won't rest until I post it just for you. Until then you'll just have to suffer along with my regular posts.
Colonel René Paul Fonck (27 March 1894 – 18 June 1953) was a French aviator who ended the First World War as the top Allied fighter ace.
He received confirmation for 75 victories (72 solo and three shared) out of 142 claims.
I probably learned of the Red Baron and his 80 kills while in elementary school but I can't say that I ever heard of Rene Fonck with his 75 kills until I began reading THE FIRST EAGLES - The Fearless American Aces Who Flew With The RAF in World War 1 by Gavin Mortimer.
