Mobile Alabama May 20 Lieutenant Frank Baer of the Lafayette Escadrille has been named an American ace after shooting down five German planes. His father calls him the most timid of four children but notes fighting is Paul’s game and recalls the family remark.
In a March 13 letter to his father engineer A E Baer Lt Baer describes five combats in ten days with three bullets hitting his plane. He claims two German planes shot down and a possible third, after earlier earning the Distinguished Service Cross. He recounts a March 11 and 12 pair of dogfights over the front lines, with scientific retreating and heavy fire, noting two confirmed kills and two unconfirmed.
