Who shot down the first jet plane in world war 2 over Germany?
1st of September 1939: The Germans start war attacking Poland... It's not exactly reported if a German bomber (Heinkel He 111) or one of the escorting Messerschmitt Bf 110-attacking Warsaw, or a polish PZL p.11 or p.7 interceptor was shot down first... it's most likely it was either a He 111 or a PZL p.11 - only three p.7 were involved in the first clash... and apparently the German escorting Bf-110 weren't the first ones the polish airforce intercepted... To be honest, the notice above is just what I read somewhere some time ago. Other sources indicate that the first plane shot down was a PZL p.11c... but shot down by a German dive-bomber "Stuka", Junkers Ju 87... Vic

Did they use parachutes in World War 1?
Yes, parachutes were used in World War I, although they were not widely adopted or utilized as they would be in later conflicts. The first recorded use of a parachute was by German pilot Franz Reichelt in 1912, and some military pilots and observers used rudimentary parachutes to escape from damaged aircraft. However, the technology was still in its infancy, and most pilots relied on their ability to land their planes safely rather than parachuting to safety.

How many aces did the red baron have?
An "ace" was an Allied pilot who shot down five or more enemy planes. The German equivalent was a "Kanone", but a German pilot had to shoot down ten or more to be considered a "Kanone". This was all the invention of newspaper writers. The Red Baron eventually ran his score up to 80 enemy planes destroyed. Most of his victims were two-seater recon planes. These were not necessarily easy targets, because the observer in the back seat had a machine gun to use in fighting off attacks from the rear. But they were generally slower and less maneuverable than single-seat fighter planes. A true dogfight was between single-seat fighter planes. One of the Baron's hard-fought victories came over British ace Lanoe Hawker, who had around 11 kills to his credit when he fell before the Baron's guns.
