General
Thanks Gwynn,
which German Division lost two divisional commanders killed in action within a fortnight of each other in November 1914 in Poland? Who were the two general officers concerned?

I was looking for "the first air to air kill" in war.
Be a good Mod and give the right to ask the next one to Glenn, won't you?![]()

I believe the first plane to be shot down was;
In the early morning of 1 September 1939... At about 7:00 A.M ., while other sources say 5:30 A.M., two P-11c fighters moved onto the runway. Just after take off, and at about 300 meters altitude, the Polish fighters were suddenly attacked by a pair of German Ju 87B dive-bombers from I/StG2 "Immelmann". Unteroffizier ( Uffz., Staff Sergeant) Frank Neubert, piloting a "Stuka" coded "T6+GK", successfully shot at Medwecki and scored probably the first aerial victory of WWII. The "Jedenastka" ("Eleventh" - popular Polish name of the P-11) flown by Capt. Mieczyslaw Medwecki fell away having suffered serious battle damage. The commander of the "City of Krakow" Regiment was killed.
