German plane was shot down over France On May 25, the first batch of US-made military aircraft flew over France. Most of the aircraft in this small air force squadron are "Janis", Corvis JN-4, designed by former bicycle technician Glenn Corvis. Although such aircraft are unfamiliar to the skies over Europe, their pilots are veterans. This air force squadron composed of American volunteer pilots, known as the "Lafayet-Escaladrile Flying Team", arrived in France in April 1916. At that time, they described the deployment of troops and artillery fire, and sometimes photographed the enemy's configuration. When German pilots flew over American planes with wings swept over them, they always waved. The air friendship ended when a German pilot set up a machine gun on a Falk plane. American newspapers now publish the records of many ace pilots, such as Eddie Rickenback shooting down four enemy aircraft; But Raoul Rajot's pilot plane was shot down by a German biplane last Sunday. Lafayette was killed four days before his death
