Brief Description:

We are fortunate to host R.G. Head, a decorated War hero, aviator, scholar, author and public speaker!  He will share World War I aviation, with a story of its most Important Aviator!

Oswald Boelcke was Germany’s first ace with a total of 40 victories. His character, leadership, development of air-to-air tactics and impact on aerial doctrine are all reasons why Boelcke remains an important figure in the history of air warfare. He wrote the first Fighter Combat Tactics Manual. He discovered, mentored, taught and commanded the Red Baron. Boelcke’s pioneering tactics had a dramatic effect on his contemporaries and even gained the admiration of his enemies.
