The most difficult aviation pioneers riddles

Roland Garros gained fame for making the flight from Fréjus in France to Bizerte in Tunisia. The following year, Garros joined the French army at the outbreak of World War I. Garros is sometimes erroneously called the world's first fighter ace. In fact, he shot down only four aircraft; the definition of "ace" is five or more victories.

On June 14–15, 1919, two British aviators flew a modified Vickers Vimy IV bomber (pictured) from Newfoundland to Ireland. Both men were knighted at Buckingham Palace by King George V. Eight years later, Charles Lindbergh's completed his flight from New York to Paris (the distance travelled by Lindbergh was almost twice as long).
