lets try Bulgaria, Cambodia, Finland, Hungary, who joined the UN straight after Austria. in 1955. The others on Arcadian's list are in earlier chronological order.

Not correct, but the clue is the UN

[sandman67]

correct on 2 and 3..... Bader and Richthoven....who were what?

Take that and spend a while on Wiki and you should find bingo barnstormer No1,a nd the answer to Q2

Then the fun begins as to answers to Q 3

Longest list of odd man out answers wins a donut.

[Jimbob]

Bader and Richthoven....who were what ?well fighter pilot aces. I'll have to get out my old Battler Brittin comic books for serious research

[Jimbob]

Fighter aces.
no. 1 is Oberleutnant Max Immelmann , the eagle of Lille.

[Jimbob]

er, Boys zone quiz correction:
Immelamnn always seemed to love his moustache
so i now think No. 1 is its Oswald Boelke
Anyway Ace 2 Bader died by heart attack nearly 40 years after WW2 and wrote of his experencesin a best selling book
Aces 1 and 3 died in aitcraft in WW1

Has anyone solved this yet? I think it may have gone stalemate?

[Nereus]

I also had Oswald Boelke in mind, but I am not sure that he is correct.

[Nereus]

Was he a Welsh coal miner?

No Nereus,
another clue? He fought in the Prussian army against Napoleon

Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz

Jimbob, was this correct?

Jimbob, I seem to go with your first choice as Boelke doesn't have a cleft chin whereas Immelmann did (although the pics I see don't look like the photo).

Also the other difference...Aces 1 and 3 had legs going into their war, Dogsbody didn't!

Jimbob, was this correct? [/quote]

apologies Nereus,
I remember posting 'Excellent etc' but often my works PC and its funny security systems crashes as I post.
Anyway Clausewitz was quite an analyst introducing the term 'fog of War' and pointing out the problem over trusting miltary intellegence.

[Siani]

What is the name of this building & where?
