    The 1st and 2nd captains of the 1st Fighter Wing of the German Army Air Force were in the blue sky. Their youthful years stayed at the ages of 25 and 27 forever (the Red Baron was born on May 2, 1892, and was 26 years old when he died in action)  His birthday is still 11 days away, and William Reinhardt was born on March 12, 1891). At this time, the third captain of the alliance, who is also only 25 years old, obviously still has a long way to go.

    Hermann Wilhelm Goering was born in Rosenheim, Bavaria, Germany. His father, Heinrich Ernest Goering, was a lawyer and local bureaucrat who served as governor of the German Empire's Southwest African Colony (now Namibia) (  Today there is also "Goering Street" named after his father), and his mother's name is Franziska.

    Goering had a younger brother, Albert Goering. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, this Albert Goering strongly opposed the Nazis and tried his best to save the Jews after the Nazi Party came to power.

    When he was young, Goering often lived apart from his parents and received education from tutors at home. He then studied at the Air Force Cadet School in Karlsruhe and the famous Lichterfelde military camp in Berlin.

    After the European War began in 1914, G?ring first served in the army and then became a pilot.  He flew reconnaissance and bomber missions before eventually becoming a fighter pilot.  During his career as an air knight, G?ring grew into a famous ace pilot and served as commander of the famous Richthofen Squadron.

    In mid-1915, G?ring began flying training in Freiburg and was later assigned to the 5th Flying Squadron.  Soon his plane was shot down, and G?ring had to spend most of 1916 recovering from his injuries in the rear.  In November 1916, G?ring returned to the Air Force and came to the 26th Flying Squadron.  In 1917, G?ring was awarded the Prussian Order of Merit.

    In June 1917, in a protracted and fierce air battle, G?ring shot down an inexperienced Australian pilot, Frank Sri.  This battle was later dubbed, with great exaggeration, "The Rise of Hermann G?ring."  After the battle, G?ring met with his opponent and gave him his Iron Cross.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, a few years later, Sri gave this medal to a friend, who died on the beach during the Normandy landings.

    And on July 3, 1918, G?ring successfully tested the D1 test aircraft developed by the Dutch Fokker, and the conceited wing commander Reinhardt then crashed the aircraft and killed everyone. The captain of the 1st Fighter Wing  The position was thus handed over to Hermann Wilhelm G?ring, who was also an ace of the Luftwaffe. Before taking up the post of wing leader, he had shot down 21 Allied aircraft and won the "Germany's highest honor."  "Blue Max" medal.

    At this time, G?ring's 1st Fighter Wing, in addition to the four fighter squadrons of the 4th, 6th, 10th, and 11th that initially joined the wing, also strengthened the three squadrons of the 26th, 27th, and 28th.  fighter squadron.  Perhaps, Manfred had chosen Reinhardt, the captain of the 6th Squadron, to succeed him as co-captain instead of G?ring, the captain of the 26th Squadron, and subconsciously there was a first-come, first-served relationship.

    As of July 28, 1918, the latest distribution of squadron bases of the German 1st Fighter Wing is as follows:

    1. The Wing Commander Hermann Wilhelm G?ring and the 26th Squadron (Jastas 11) are stationed in Kharkov and have a fighter squadron with 16 Fokker Dviii monoplanes. The Wing Headquarters also has 4 Fokkers.  Kdri triplane fighter.

    2. The 4th Squadron (jastas4) is stationed in Dnipropetrovsk under the leadership of the squadron leader, Lieutenant Ernst Udet (oberlentnantensterwoodt). The 4th Squadron has 16 Fokker DVII fighters.

    3. The 6th Squadron (jastas6) is stationed in Donetsk under the leadership of the squadron leader, Lieutenant Edward Ritter von Daostler (oberlentnanteduardritteondostler), and has 16 Fokker Dvii biplane fighters.

    4. The 10th Squadron (jastas10) is stationed in Kiev under the leadership of squadron leader Ernst Freiheronalthaus (oberlentnanternstfreihernalthaus). The squadron has 16 Fokker Dviii monoplane fighters.

    5. The 11th Squadron (jastas10) is stationed in Kiev under the leadership of squadron leader Robert Albrecht von Richthofen (oberlentnantlotheralbrechtfreiheronrichthofen). The squadron has 16 Fokker dri triplane fighters.

    6. The 27th Squadron (jastas27) is stationed in Odessa under the leadership of squadron leader Ernst Freiheron Althaus (oberlentnanternstfreihernalthaus) and has 16 Fokker Dvii biplane fighters.

    7. The 28th Squadron (jastas28) is stationed in Rivne under the leadership of squadron leader Ernst Freiheronalthaus (oberlentnanternstfreiheronalthaus), and has 16 Fokker Dviii monoplane fighters.

    The German 1st Fighter Wing, stationed throughout Ukraine, has 7 squadrons with a total of 116 fighter jets. Wing Commander Hermann Wilhelm Goering's task is to command his wing to gain air supremacy over Ukraine and expel any  Airspace violations by enemy reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets.

    Compared to the Western Front AgreementFighting with Allied aircraft in the air, the 1st Fighter Wing, which was arranged to rest on the Eastern Front, spent a very peaceful July. Soviet Russia had no combat aircraft at all, and several White Guards on the Don River  Even the repair parts for the old reconnaissance aircraft were not available. Of course, because the Soviet Union and Germany signed the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty", the German troops in Ukraine, including the flying squadron, were strictly ordered not to fly across the border.

    By late July, such calm no longer existed with the establishment of the Volga Federation and the entry of the Allied Air Force into airports in Tsaritsyn, Voronezh, Kursk and other places. Patrol aircraft from both sides flew along the border at their respective ends.  A tacit understanding.
