Charles Nunguesser, full stop! Whatta guy, he was the epitome of the dashing WW1 flying ace. Despite breaking every bone in his body, he still found time to nail Mata Hari on the regular and told her fake news to share with her German spymasters. After the war, he raced cars and played himself in stunt-filled silent movies. He went missing at the age of 35 when attempting to cross the Atlantic. For a long time it was thought that he crashed into the ocean, but recently they’ve started considering that he made it to North America and landed in rural Canada; making him the first to cross and not Lindbergh. I love him. Nunguesser pilot flying ace cute histiry dudes
