[WWI] Oliver Colin "Boots" Leboutillier's Camel(s)/209 Squadron Marking Practice

[Shane Weier]

Sean says

 

>He was a U.S. pilots, and ace, flying with 209 Squadron, RAF. 

 

Okay, I looked him up. Ten victories, so about the 550th highest scoring ace.

 

>He also was a witness to Manfred von Richthofen's demise, and flew low over the crashed red triplane,

 

Did he see the gunman on the grassy knoll?

 

>I believe his career in aviation continued long after World War I, as well...

 

This is a hell of a lot more impressive. Far to many of his colleagues never got the chance.
