Eugene Bullard:
Despite being American, he already joined the war in 1914, eventually becoming a pilot in 1916. He was one of the only Black pilots at that time, which sadly led to him not being accepted in the American Air Service as the US entered the war, despite his experience. During his lifetime, he received 14 decorations and medals. Still, in his home country he stayed mostly forgotten.
Also, the photos of him in his uniform with the medals he earned are just so awesome.
He was a man of many talents, and aside from his achievements during WWI, he was also a musician, boxer, and celebrated nightclub manager and owner.
Wilhelm Frankl:
He could not only absolutely rock a mustache, he also became a pilot right at the start of WW1, scoring his first victory in 1915, a victory that awarded him the Iron Cross. Eventually, he became the commanding officer of Jasta 1. In 1917 he passed away. Like so many jewish germans who served and died in WW1, his victories and successes became mostly forgotten, being intentionally erased by Nazi Germany.
