Ernst Udet flew in both wars. Herman Goering was a pilot during WW1 and was involved politically in WW2.
The German fighter pilot of World War I who only had one arm was Manfred von Richthofen, famously known as the "Red Baron." However, it is important to note that he had both arms; the pilot you may be thinking of is Hans-Joachim Marseille or possibly another lesser-known figure, as one-armed pilots were rare. The Red Baron is celebrated for his aerial combat skills and is one of the most famous aces of the war.

The Luger P08 was a standard sidearm of the German Military in both World Wars.
Both Jersey and Guernsey were occupied by German forces.
Lt. Erich Lowenhardt, German ace and leader of Jasta 10. I only have list of WW1 aces. There may have been other pilots by that name who were not an ace. Erich Lowenhardt was the highest scoring, living German ace by August 1918. His last flight was on 10 August 1918, when he left on a mid-day patrol and got into a fight with the British 56th Squadron of SE5's. His fellow pilots reported that Lowenhardt shot down an SE5 only to collide with Lt Alfred Wentz. Both pilots bailed out of their airplanes but Lowenhardt's parachute failed to deploy. His final score of 53 ranked him 3rd highest German ace of WW1.
The German Stuka pilot Hans-Ulrich Rudel was one , he was missing one leg . RAF pilot Douglas Bader was a pilot who had lost both his legs .
Waldo becomes a Hollywood pilot stuntman (under an assumed name because he has been banned from flying). There he meets Kessler, an German WWI pilot and fellow stuntman, who describes to him a fantastic dog fight he had with an Allied pilot (Kessler salutes the pilot and allows him to live because of his fantastic skill and bravery). When filming an Allied/German dog fight for the film, Kessler and Waldo decide to have their own battle (without guns) to see who is the better pilot. Lots of fantastic flying. Both ram each other's planes but Kessler suffers the most damage and they both salute their opponent's skill and bravery before coming down. The film ends on a photo of Waldo in his flying gear (his date of birth and death are under the picture; dies quite young in 1931 at about 40)
Douglas Bader is a well known inspirational fighter pilot during WW2. He carried on flying despite having both legs amputated.

The Federal Aviation Administration, and probably every other aviation board in the world, requires that planes with a maximum takeoff weight over 12,500 lbs, or most planes with jet engines, have a crew of two to fly it because flying a plane like this is too much work for one person. There are six single-pilot jets on the market, and they're all really little.
Pilot officers, typically in the military, are commissioned officers responsible for flying and operating aircraft. They conduct missions that may include reconnaissance, combat, transport, and training. In addition to flying, they also participate in planning and executing missions, as well as ensuring the safety and readiness of their aircraft. Their role is crucial in both combat and support operations within the air force.
Douglas Bader
Both are correct.
Yes, Flying J, which is part of Pilot Company, owns and operates a refinery in North Salt Lake, Utah. This facility primarily produces diesel fuel and other petroleum products, serving both the company's travel centers and external customers. The refinery is part of Pilot's broader strategy to enhance its supply chain and fuel offerings.
Yes, German submarines were very effective in both world wars. The Germans built excellent submarines and still do.
The Lewis gun was used by German's American's, and the UK:-)
Usually no unless that pilot is certified on both.
