Why is he your favorite ace?

There probably have been several posts here asking people who their favorite ace is. BUT, has there been one that says why?
My favorite ace is Georges Guynemer. Why? I saw the Dogfights episode that was based on WW1 aerial warfare and the dogfight between Guynemer and Ernst Udet was the first one. For some odd reason, Guynemer's name just stuck with me and the way he performed in the animation in the fight was really cool and fascinated me. I went on to search up information on him, liked what I read (not to mention the victories he racked up), his Spads and Nieuports, they Vieux Charles, the number 3, and the stork insignia is another thing I really liked to. Georges just happened to be my favorite ace out of all the tons of others during the Great War.
Who is yours? And Why?
