....which is thought to be was one reason of his suicide in the night of New Year´s Eve 1918/19!

My favorites are:

Joe Wehner and Frank Luke, because they were outsiders in the 27th Aero Squadron. Wehner, due to his German extraction, who found himself under frequent scrutiny, suspected to be an enemy Agent. Luke, also a descendant of German emigrants, because of his reputation as a braggart and due to the fact he had a wild and undisciplined nature, who had problems to respect authorities.
