Mwah, hij lijkt er maar een beetje op, maar het is niet onmogelijk dat het hier gaat om Adolphe Pègoud die een aantal 'First things In Aviation' op zijn naam heeft.
Citaat:
Having served in the French army for several years, Pègoud was discharged from service on 13 February 1913. Pursuing an interest in aviation, he obtained a civilian Pilot's Brevet on 1 March 1913. On 19 August 1913, he became the first man in Europe to descend from an aircraft in a parachute. Less than a month later, he became the first pilot to perform a loop and, during World War I, he was the first French pilot to score five victories. The first ace to be killed in aerial combat, Pègoud was shot down by a German two-seater piloted by his former student, Unteroffizier Kandulski.
