Hans-Joachim Buddecke’s story start before the war in Indianapolis, working for his American uncle (later the grandfather of author Kurt Vonnegut Jr.). He became the third German ace to be awarded the Blue Max (after Immelmann and Boelcke) after clearing the skies over Gallipoli. See: Award Dates for the Blue Max (1916) – The Dupuy Institute. He was the pilot who shot down Lawrence of Arabia’s younger brother (no relationship to me).
