Added:

Roland Garros (6 October 1888 - 5 October 1918) was an early French aviator and a fighter aircraft pilot during World War I.

(He settled into Escadrille 26 to pilot a Spad, and claimed two victories on 2 October 1918, one of which was confirmed. On 5 October 1918, he was shot down and killed near Vouziers, Ardennes, a month shy of the end of the war and one day before his 30th birthday. His conqueror was probably German ace (5-winner) Hermann Habich from Jasta 49).
