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).

Roland Gorros was a French pilot during the early days of aviation. He was also a figher pilot during World War 1. According to history, new parts on Rolands plane were taken by the Germans after his plane landed in enemy territory. The Germans improved the designs and used the ideas against the Allies.
