first, a disclaimer. This is technically an aircraft because it flies mid air, not falling so this is valid
Aaaaaanyways....

Milton Meyer

He's an ace mid WW1, which was a tough time for pilots because the aircraft reliability at the time was... Lackluster...

He joined at the start of the war as a foot soldier, and then transferred into horseback soldier. He found this life boring as hell, so he decided join the air force.

At first he was assigned as an aircraft mechanic because of his very good intelligence. He became very adept with the tools and the knowledge of aircraft's inner workings.

The airfield he worked on was often attacked by enemy aircraft, and thus he had either a Genius, Wacky, or Dumb idea. Probably all of them to be honest.

He found a photo of a Zeppelin, and decided to make a hot air balloon of his own. Milton finishes after 2 weeks and mounts a light machine gun on it.

With the LMG, he shoots down his first aircraft not long after the first flight of the balloon. He then scores kill after kill on his balloon, often hidden in plain sight. 18 kills he racked, nice

The final flight was in 1917, a squadron attacked the airbase with an ace by their side. Milton took down 2 aircraft, but after that the enemy ace shredded the balloon with incendiary rounds. The fall was unrecoverable and he passed away bravely at that moment.

The original one doesn't have a Lion decal

ok now, Doom, what the hell is this?

Good question, sadly I don't even know myself. I found memes very amusing and I want you for U.S. Army

Sorry, I meant I want you to have fun too
