| Image title | America's second ranking ace in World War I, Frank Luke embodied the reckless and undisciplined image of a fighter pilot of the time. He went after the toughest targets, heavily defended German Drachen observation balloons. They were protected by a ring of anti-aircraft for planes attacking above the balloon, and then there was a ring of machine guns for low flying aircraft. To attack a balloon was practically suicide. But for whatever reason, these were Luke's voluntary objectives. Some surmised it was because of the easy confirmation as the fireball fell from the sky with a plume of smoke. |
