Well, it looks like Fonck has been 'forgotten' for some (wrong) political reasons... Sad to say. Actually, the "Association Mémoire de René Fonck" is trying to give him justice.

Interesting to read "Unlike many great fliers -Lufbery and Guynemer, for example- he doesn't put shooting first. Manoeuvring your opponent is the chief thing, he said"... Quite the contrary, even if it isn't paradoxical, to what it's commonly believed about him.
